Statute overview

About this statute

This provision creates the LNR as a national medical referral laboratory and says it has legal personality plus administrative and financial autonomy. LNR’s headquarters must be in Kigali City, and it may be moved elsewhere in Rwanda if necessary. LNR may also have branches elsewhere in the country, with approval by a Prime Ministerial Order. LNR is responsible for policy work, lab testing, disease surveillance support, lab oversight, training, research, and cooperation with other agencies. LNR is supervised by the Ministry in charge of health, and the Ministry must conclude a performance contract with the Board of Directors. The performance contract must clearly state the responsibilities of LNR’s Board, management, and main organs, the expected results, and the source of LNR’s property, its functioning, and permanent audit procedures.
