RWANDA LEGACY OF HOPE IS PLANNING ESTABLISH A TRAINING CENTRE AT RWAMAGANA HOSPITAL IN FEBRUARY 2016 FOR LOCAL DOCTORS 
A key plan and objectives of Rwanda Legacy of Hope is to transfer surgical skills and knowledge to local doctors in Rwanda. The trainees of today will become the trainers of tomorrow in Rwanda. We have trained doctors during all our missions. In 2014, we trained 13 doctors at Gahini and Kirinda Hospitals and provided them with CPD Certificates. In 2016, we are planning a comprehensive Training Workshop in hernia Mesh repair. This will start with lectures on the anatomy and practical aspects of hernia repair. We will then take trainees doctors to 2 hospitals and provide one to one hands on training for a whole week. To affirm our objective of training and to underline the importance of this venture we have accessed funding to fully equip one theatre to a very high standard to become a permanent training centre in Rwanda. We would like to start off by training in Mesh repair of inguinal hernias and also teach novel non mesh hernia repair. The centre will be used at various times of the year to train local doctors in procedures in other specialties.
