HPGRB Historical background

The Provincial General Reference Hospital of Bukavu (HPGRB) is a medical structure of the Congolese State ceded to the Archdiocese of Bukavu in 1995 for its management.
Since May 2003, by ministerial order n° 1250/CAB/MIN/S/CJ/67/2003 of the Minister of Health, it serves as a medical teaching institution for students enrolled in medicine at the Catholic University of Bukavu (UCB).
Located at n°02 on Avenue Michombero, Nkafu district, Kadutu commune, about 500 meters from the Place de l’Indépendance on the road leading to Kavumu Airport and Goma, HPGRB is at the crossroads of three Urban Communes (Ibanda, Kadutu and Bagira) of the city of Bukavu in the province of South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo.

With : the Medical Imaging, the Intensive Care Unit, the Emergency Care Service and the Morgue as support services.

With a multidisciplinary medical team of 90 doctors (including 41 specialists) and 207 nurses, laboratory technicians, midwives and anesthesiologists, our primary objective is to place the patient at the center of our daily activities based on the motto: “The customer is king”, in other words, “The patient is king”.
Medical care is offered in two clinics (A and B) from the most needy to the most affluent without any discrimination. Since 2017, the Specialized Clinic B allows you to be consulted by more than one specialist at the same time according to your availability (and not that of the consulting physician) and to reduce the waiting time in front of the consultation offices. Consultations are held from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm in Clinic A, from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm in Clinic B from Monday to Friday and from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm on weekends.
