As Rwanda seeks to become a hub for digital
innovations and promote service-oriented economy, the health sector has not
been left behind considering achieved great strides evidenced through improved
health services and development of related infrastructures among others.
Before
1994, the country’s health services were mainly provided by public health
facilities with small number of specialized doctors and inadequate advanced
equipment.
Today,
the situation is gradually becoming history with the increase of public and
private health facilities, modern health equipment and advanced technology to
promote health tourism even though a lot still needs to be done.
Frontier
Diagnostic Center and polyclinic is one of health facilities expected to
increase health tourism following plans to open doors to Rwanda.
Located
in Nyarutarama nearby the Kigali Golf Course, Frontier Diagnostic Center and
Polyclinic is a subsidiary of Alzaytouna Network co.ltd. The centre will offer
health services ranging from Obs&Gynecology, pediatrics, surgery,
orthopedics, dermatology, cardiology, renal and oncology.

health services packages include internal medicine with advanced endoscopy,
Imaging services, physiotherapy, minor surgery, laboratory services, emergency
and Short stay ward services.
Frontier
Diagnostic Center and Polyclinic has equipment with advanced technology and
specialist doctors from different countries including those whose health
sectors developed in centuries.
The
health facility has a fully automated laboratory, and advanced machines

Dr.
Elmetwally, the Medical Director and specialist in Gastroenterology &

patients in need of different health services and others transferred from other
facilities for imaging services and specialists services.

chose to open doors to Rwanda as a country facilitating investment in different
areas with advancing technology. Rwandans will benefit from our world class
