Events

A review of progress in improving the public health system in Ngozi Province published in May 2012 found that the evaluation report for Buye Hospital was superficial, and several indicators that were clearly unsatisfactory were given scores of 100%.Infrastructure in the province was generally adequate, but there were some gaps, particularly at the Buye Hospital.

In 2017 the staff of the Buye Hospital accused the medical director of using the hospital's service vehicle for purposes unrelated to the hospital, including moving the children of the director and his neighbours, and moving the commune's football players during matches.Fuel consumption was almost double what it was when the vehicle was used only for hsopital missions, and maintenance costs were also higher.
