Our Vision
Many young adults in Rwanda die from undiagnosed rheumatic heart disease. Establishing a cardiology training program in Rwanda will transform the landscape of the country’s
capacity to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease. A strong collaborative relationship between Rwanda Ministry of
Health, University of Rwanda, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, and the
University of
Kigali Teaching Hospital ( CHUK), has been established to accomplish this goal. Rwanda faculty have traveled to University of Cincinnati. Rwanda trainees will be hosted at University of Cincinnati in 2023. With your
support, we can empower Rwanda to sustainably care for the cardiovascular needs of their people.
Creating opportunities for career growth and cardiac care in Rwanda through education, training and collaboration.
Dr. Sibomana has a passion for cardiology and
critical care medicine. He cared for many heart failure and rheumatic valve
patients at his academic practice at CHUK hospital, in Butare. His attempt to
secure a cardiology fellowship was limited due to the lack of programs in the
region. Due to his strong academic activities, he secured a pulmonary/critical
care fellowship at Addis Ababa University, with completion in 2022. Dr. Sibomana shares the belief of having subspecialty training in Rwanda.
He now teaches on our curriculum on the ground in Rwanda as well as online.
