"The project aims to improve access to healthcare for the region's rural population, complementing the services of the existing general hospital, with a focus on maternity and specialized surgical care."
"The design team mapped locally available resources and techniques, such as brick factories, welding workshops, and wood-processing plants, to develop a design that could be built efficiently using local means."
"The building site is located on a steep, north-facing hillside and is directly accessible from the national road connecting Bujumbura to the northern regions of the country."
"The project combines materials sourced from the surrounding region, traditional craftsmanship, and knowledge transfer, minimizing its carbon footprint, supporting the local economy, and strengthening local teams."
Kéréré Architecture has designed a healthcare center in Burundi's Bubanza region to improve healthcare access for rural populations. The project, commissioned by Ineza Clinic, focuses on maternity and specialized surgical care, complementing existing services. The design features ten pavilions connected by a road, utilizing local materials and craftsmanship to minimize carbon footprint and support the local economy. Construction has begun, with the first phase expected to be completed this year, addressing challenges posed by high fuel prices and resource availability.
