The Kibuye Hope Hospital was founded by Free Methodist missionaries from the United States of America in 1946. In 2006 it was one of the hospitals chosen for a pilot Results-Based Financing program. This program, together with free care, removed budgetary contraints and resulted in a massive increase in patients, particularly maternity cases. [5]

As of 2024 the hospital had 230 employees, with over 30 doctors and more than 60 nurses. [2] It continues to be operated by the Free Methodist Church in Burundi, since 2010 as part of the Hope University. [5]
