KIGALI, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- The China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) has played a key role in developing infrastructures aimed at improving the quality of life for residents living in northern Rwanda's Burera district.

One such project is the expansion and reconstruction of the first phase of the Butaro District Hospital. Under a construction deal reached in December 2021 with the Global Health Partnership, the Chinese firm was contracted to expand the hospital's capacity from 140 beds to 240, covering a total area of about 4,200 square meters that come with an emergency room and cancer center.
