MTN Rwanda contributes 100 million Rwandan Francs to the Ministry of Health for the construction of a maternity block that will accommodate a new Caesarean (C-section) operation facility and upgrade the Bweyeye health centre located in Bweyeye sector, Rusizi district in Western Province.
This support is part of the Company’s Corporate Social Investments, demonstrating MTN Rwanda’s commitment to supporting Government priorities in health.

well-being of communities and the reduction of maternal mortality rates.
