How one hospital in rural Rwanda is becoming an eye care hub

At the hospital, we were met by Dr Piet Noë, an ophthalmologist and ophthalmic surgeon, who hails from Belgium but has been living in Rwanda for the past 15 years, five of which he has spent running the hospital. Noë is a simple, soft spoken and down to earth man, who remains focused on delivering the change he envisaged when he set out to start the hospital in 2018, which is touching people’s lives. The passionate ophthalmologist says the biggest challenge they face today is that the majority of people first try to treat conditions using traditional medicine yet this is one of the delicate medical fields where traditional methods of treatment are not efficient at all. Their speciality over other hospitals is that they do a lot of surgeries and they offer all types of eye treatment, which makes them sort of unique from other eye hospitals. Also, the fact that they are accessed by patients using Mutuelle de Sante makes Rwanda Charity Eye Hospital unique, according to Noë.
