RULI HOSPITAL CELEBRATES THE FEAST DAY OF SAINT MARTIN DE PORRES, ITS PATRON SAINT

Today, 4 November 2026, Ruli Hospital celebrated the feast day of Saint Martin de Porres, the Patron Saint of the Hospital. This special day is traditionally commemorated every year on 3 November.

The celebration began with a Holy Mass held in the Hospital Chapel, presided over by the Parish Priest of Ruli Parish, Rev. Father Nshimiyimana, representing the Archdiocese of Kigali.

This special occasion provided an opportunity to reflect on the life, works and values of Saint Martin de Porres, particularly love, compassion, humility, respect for human dignity, and selfless service to all without discrimination.

The message of the day emphasized the importance of putting these values into practice in the daily work of hospital staff, particularly in welcoming patients, providing care, and delivering quality services with respect, professionalism and dedication.

As a healthcare institution, Ruli Hospital was reminded that quality healthcare goes beyond administering medication and treating diseases. It also depends on showing love and compassion, respecting every patient's rights and dignity, listening to their concerns, and providing care without any form of discrimination.

The celebration also served as an opportunity for self-reflection and renewed commitment to improving the quality of services delivered, ensuring that every patient who visits the Hospital is warmly welcomed, treated with dignity and provided with appropriate care that promotes their well-being.

Saint Martin de Porres, may we continue to learn from your example of love, compassion, humility and selfless service to others without discrimination.
