A modular operating theatre is a specially designed surgical room that is built using pre-fabricated, modular components.
This allows for flexibility in its design, enabling it to be customized and adapted to meet specific needs or requirements.
It can be expanded or modified easily, depending on future needs, and is equipped with advanced medical technology for performing surgeries.
The event was graced by the CEO of King Faisal Hospital Rwanda, alongside the CEO of Alvo Medical, the esteemed manufacturer of advanced Operating Room (OR) solutions.
Also in attendance were the Deputy CEO (DCEO) and the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of KFH, along with theatre users, including surgeons, anesthetists, and nursing staff, who will directly benefit from this cutting-edge facility.
The newly inaugurated modular theatre is equipped with the latest technology designed to support complex cardiac procedures, significantly enhancing patient safety and improving surgical outcomes.
In his address, the CEO of KFH reaffirmed the hospital's commitment to advancing surgical care through innovative OR solutions.
He proudly announced that all 18 theatres planned in the hospital's expansion project will be built to an even higher standard than the newly inaugurated one.
He emphasized that KFH will no longer construct theatres below this level of excellence.
The CEO of Alvo Medical expressed pride in partnering with KFH to deliver this modern, high-performance surgical environment.
He highlighted Alvo Medical's commitment to providing innovative and sustainable medical infrastructure capable of serving hospitals for up to 20 years.
King Faisal Hospital has made significant strides in advancing healthcare. In May 2024, the hospital announced that over 300 patients, including children aged between 100 and 150, had undergone heart surgery in the past three years using cardiac catheterization procedure.
In January 2024, it was also reported that in the previous year, more than 175 patients had undergone surgery for heart related diseases, while 18 patients received kidney transplant services in Rwanda.
Besides, the foundation stone for the expansion of King Faisal Hospital, a project that will increase its capacity threefold was laid on July 22, 2024.
The expansion is expected to add nearly 88,000 square meters to the hospital, with a focus on treating rare diseases that are not commonly treated in Rwanda, such as heart surgeries, cancer treatments, and others.
