King Faisal Hospital Delegation Visits MCW
The Office of Global Health partnered with Dr. Kulwinder Dua, professor of medicine, to host an eight- member delegation from King Faisal Hospital in Kigali, Rwanda. An active partner with the Ministry of Health, Dr. Dua is advancing gastroenterology training and assisting in their strengthening health system capacity.
The primary objective for the delegation’s visit was to explore additional interest in subspecialty training, medical education, faculty development, and partnership expansion. The delegation comprised of Dr. Damas Dukundane, head of internal medicine, Dr. Richard Nduwayezu, director of research, Dr. Gaston Nyirigira, head of the intensive care unit, Kara Neil, chief education training & research officer, Dr. Thierry Muvunyi, head of pathology, Gladys Kayonde, infection and prevention and control focal person, Dr. Henna Aberra, gastroenterologist, and Michel Rafiki Gatera, statistician.
The delegation met with several MCW faculty and staff members (listed below) to share ideas, strengthen relationships and explore future opportunities for education, research and patient care collaboration. This partnership includes bi-directional faculty and student exchange as part of our joint capacity building efforts.
