A specialized hospital in Kigali, built on one belief: every patient deserves high-quality, accessible care delivered with compassion, skill, and dignity.
To become a leading center of excellence in specialized healthcare in Rwanda and the region, providing world-class, patient-centered medical services through innovation, research, and compassionate care.
To provide high-quality, accessible, and specialized healthcare services using advanced medical technology, skilled professionals, and evidence-based practices, while promoting research, training, and community health improvement.
Located in Kimihurura, Gasabo District, Kigali City, La Joconde Hospital is a specialized private hospital serving the population of Gasabo and the wider Kigali community. We operate around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because illness does not keep office hours.
Every patient is treated with empathy, warmth, and genuine care.
We hold ourselves to the highest clinical and service standards.
Honest, transparent practice in the consultation room and in everything we do.
Qualified, licensed specialists who carry their expertise with humility.
Embracing technology and evidence-based advances to improve outcomes.
A multidisciplinary team working as one for every patient.
Every decision starts and ends with what is best for the patient in front of us.
La Joconde Hospital opens with a focused set of specialties and grows into a full multispecialty center over its first four years of operation.
Comprehensive women's health from routine consultations to complex obstetric procedures, delivered by experienced specialists in a modern maternity environment. Covering prenatal and postnatal care, normal and surgical deliveries, high-risk pregnancy monitoring, gynecological surgeries, and reproductive health screening.
Dedicated care for children from birth through adolescence, including a neonatology unit that runs as an essential complement to our maternity services. Covering newborn and neonatal intensive care, outpatient and inpatient pediatric treatment, growth monitoring, vaccination, and management of prematurity and low birth weight.
Evidence-based physical rehabilitation delivered by qualified therapists, supporting recovery for post-surgical, maternity, neurological, and musculoskeletal patients. Services include post-operative and postnatal rehabilitation, pain management, neurological recovery, and therapeutic ultrasound.
A full-service dental unit equipped with modern chairs, intraoral imaging, and a skilled dental team. Covering general and preventive dentistry, extractions and minor oral surgery, scaling and restorations, intraoral X-ray, and paediatric dental care.
From day one, La Joconde Hospital provides on-site laboratory services (blood, urine, and microbiological testing) and ultrasound imaging. Phase 2 brings a full diagnostic imaging center with MRI, CT, PET/CT, Mammography, Fluoroscopy, and X-Ray, making advanced diagnostics available locally in Gasabo.
All services follow established norms and procedures to maximize patient outcomes without unnecessary risk or cost.
From the software managing every patient interaction to the imaging equipment reading a scan, La Joconde Hospital is built on world-class tools.
La Joconde Hospital runs on Clinic Plus Pro, an enterprise healthcare management platform designed for multi-specialty facilities. Every department, from triage to billing, operates on a single, connected system.
Intelligent consultation tracking, decision-support analytics, and smart medical record generation, all driven by AI to help clinicians focus on patients, not paperwork.
Clinic Plus Pro is integrated with the Rwandan National Health Intelligence infrastructure, ensuring La Joconde Hospital's data flows seamlessly with the national health information ecosystem and HMIS reporting requirements.
Built-in integrations with health insurance providers, including RSSB and private insurers, mean claims that once took days are processed in minutes, reducing wait times for patients.
From registration through discharge, every step (triage, consultation, diagnostics, billing, and medical records) is tracked on a single platform, reducing bottlenecks and improving the experience at every touchpoint.
Management and clinical leads get live performance dashboards and outcome reporting, powering data-driven decisions across all departments simultaneously.
HIPAA-aligned data security with automated backups and offline capability, so care never stops even when connectivity is interrupted. All staff onboarding and training is included.
The equipment below represents the diagnostic and treatment technology planned for La Joconde Hospital's Phase 2 expansion, bringing capabilities previously available only in a handful of public hospitals directly into the Gasabo community.
The MRI scanner produces detailed soft-tissue images without ionizing radiation, making it indispensable for neurology, oncology, musculoskeletal, and obstetric assessments. Modern 3T systems deliver higher resolution in shorter scan times, improving both diagnostic accuracy and patient comfort. AI-enhanced reconstruction further sharpens image clarity and speeds reporting.
CT scanners rotate an X-ray source around the patient at high speed, with some models completing a full rotation in under 0.3 seconds, to produce detailed 3D cross-sectional images of organs, bones, and vessels. Spectral CT technology adds a layer of tissue characterization that helps clinicians differentiate conditions with greater confidence and fewer repeat scans.
PET/CT combines functional molecular imaging with anatomical detail, detecting disease at the cellular level before structural changes become visible on conventional scans. It is the gold standard for staging cancer, monitoring therapy response, and detecting early neurological and cardiac conditions. Tracers targeting oncology, neurology, and cardiology are available on a single platform.
Modern radiotherapy systems use precisely focused high-energy X-rays to damage cancer cell DNA, stopping tumor growth while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. Image-guided and adaptive platforms allow clinicians to adjust the treatment beam in real time as a tumor shifts or shrinks, improving outcomes and reducing side effects. Brachytherapy (internal radiation placement) is also planned, offering a targeted option for cervical, uterine, and prostate cancers.
La Joconde Hospital's nephrology center will operate a 10-machine hemodialysis unit for patients with chronic kidney disease. Modern dialysis systems filter toxins and excess fluid from the blood with programmable precision, monitoring blood pressure, temperature, and treatment parameters continuously. Individual treatment profiles mean each patient receives a session tailored to their clinical needs, improving tolerability and outcomes.
La Joconde Hospital is actively partnering with Rwanda's major health insurance providers so patients face no financial barrier to accessing specialized care. We are pursuing agreements with public and private insurers from day one and will expand to international insurance programs as we grow.
We are working through a deliberate two-phase plan. Here is exactly where things stand on the way to our opening.
Four-floor facility in Kimihurura, Gasabo, finalized. Includes 4 consultation rooms, 2 operating theatres, laboratory, maternity ward, and neonatology unit with 26 beds.
Medical gas systems, electrical infrastructure, oxygen distribution, waste management systems, and IT network all in place.
Installing Phase 1 diagnostic and clinical equipment. Assembling the opening teams, starting with Gynecology, Obstetrics, and Pediatrics, alongside Physiotherapy and Dental.
Regulatory review, RSSB partnership application, and final safety certification ahead of admitting our first patients.
La Joconde Hospital welcomes its first patients, providing Gynecology & Obstetrics, Pediatrics & Neonatology, Physiotherapy, and Dental services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
A new building adds the full diagnostic imaging center (MRI, CT, PET/CT, Mammography, Fluoroscopy, X-Ray) alongside Surgery, Neurology, Cardiology, Urology, Nephrology, and Oncology services.
We'd rather open once every team, tool, and process is in place than rush to meet a calendar date. Leave your email below and we'll write to you the moment we set an opening date, and again the day we open.
No spam. Only real updates as we get closer.
