The 7th Rwanda Endoscopy Week - March 2025

The GI Rising team arrived in Rwanda this week and scattered to hospitals around the country to begin performing endoscopies, colonoscopies, and providing hands-on teaching.

Here are some photos from yesterday's scoping at Charite Digestive Clinic in Kigali.
