History

The Bugendana Clinic was built by the Organization for the Development of the Archdiocese of Gitega (ODAG-Caritas) with the support of a German Diocese. The clinic was formally opened on 12 June 2017 by Pierre Nkurunziza, President of Burundi. The Bishop of Gitega, Bishop Simoni Ntamwana, blessed the hospital in a ceremony attended by the Minister of Health, Thaddée Ndikumana.

A report in July 2017 said the Ruyigi Hospital was badly lacking equipment and specialized doctors. Patients with complex conditions had to be transferred to other hospitals such as Kibuye Hospital or Bugendana Clinic.
