An official who spoke to IGIHE said the initiative aims to expand access to both functional and aesthetic plastic surgery services, provided by a team of experienced local and visiting specialists.
The camp will provide treatments including liposuction, tummy tucks, breast reduction and augmentation, buttock lifts, brachioplasty, fat grafting, and non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
While the camp is fully booked for the week, patients scheduled for these procedures will benefit from reduced costs and comprehensive care.
The camp also serves to build the capacity of local plastic surgeons by fostering collaboration with visiting experts.
King Faisal Hospital's approach to plastic surgery is described by the facility as patient-centered and aligned with international standards. The hospital representative noted that the hospital integrates 'advanced medical technology, multidisciplinary expertise, and a patient-centred care model within a tertiary hospital setting.'
According to the hospital, procedures will be performed by certified specialists in accredited operating theatres, following strict surgical safety protocols.
'Each patient undergoes a thorough preoperative assessment and receives a personalised postoperative care plan,' the official added.
This model aims to ensure both safety and effective outcomes, particularly for patients seeking either reconstructive or aesthetic enhancements.
In addition to the camp, the hospital plans to open a dedicated cosmetology clinic offering non-surgical aesthetic treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, and laser skin rejuvenation in the coming weeks. This clinic will further enhance Rwanda's access to high-quality aesthetic care in a controlled hospital environment.
The hospital encourages patients interested in plastic surgery and cosmetology services to consult their outpatient system to schedule future appointments once the clinic opens.
