Polyclinique Centrale de Bujumbura (Polyceb) is a private hospital located in Bujumbura, Burundi.

Location

The Polyclinique Centrale de Bujumbura is in the center of Bujumbara, on the north side of the Boulevard de l'Uprona. It is opposite the Orthodox Church, and to the west of Avenue Mosso.^[1] The clinic is one of the oldest in the capital.^[2]

History

During the 2015 political crisis in Burundi when the president sought a third term of office, the clinic experienced a drop of revenues for outpatient consultations and hospitalizations of over 40%. It was forced to reduce service levels in response.^[3]

In May 2020 Polyceb was one of the four hospitals holding patients suspected of COVID-19. Others were BUMEREC, HPRC and the UN hospital. At this stage, 19 people had been identified with the virus in Burundi.^[4]
