As of February 2023 the Mpanda General Hospital had the only functional medical scanner in Burundi. Scanners are sensitive instruments, and often require maintenance after power cuts. All the scanners in the city of Bujumburu had broken down. Hospitals with non-functional scanners included Kira Hospital, Karusi Cinquantenaire Hospital and Tanganyika Care Polyclinic. All patients requiring scans were being referred to Mpanda.

In October 2023 the hospital organized a breast cancer screening campaign that was free for all women who wanted it, other than examinations of patients who were ill.
