Events
The private Ijenda Hospital was created in1974, but its services were expensive for most of the local population.
In December 2013 an ophthalmological center built by the Lions Club Bujumbura Doyen was handed over to the Congregation of the Annunciades Sisters of Ijenda. The Ijenda hospital was a partner in the project due to its experience in health care in the area. The project had been supported by the Annunciades Sisters since 2006 with a building plot and rehabilitation of existing buildings. The eye center is located beside the hospital.
