Marescaux revealed that the establishment of an IRCAD centre in Kigali is in advanced stages as they have secured partnerships with different stakeholders, adding that the centre would soon be set up.

 

“I’m here because we plan to build an institute of research in minimally invasive surgery that is ready to save lives. This will be the largest institute as it will serve as a continental centre. Already, all our networks of international experts have agreed to come to Kigali for this project. I had also to convince big companies like Karl Storz and an American company, all of which have agreed to invest in the centre. This is why Doctor Storz is here with me”

​

He also said that Karl Storz was looking to invest more than US $ 7 million (approximately Rwf5.9 billion).
