Although the development of anesthesia as a specialty and its practice in Rwanda have occurred postindependence, there are several contributing factors that have had an impact on the current state of the delivery of anesthetic care. European colonization of Africa, in general, and Belgium's control, in particular, are primary factors that have had a significant impact on education. The ripple effect has had a long-lasting impact on health care as well as other facets of present-day Rwandan society. Tertiary education did not start until the latter half of the 20th century and has left this country with the belated development of an educated population in sufficient numbers to handle health care problems and provide sufficient care to its population. This article will examine the history of Rwanda and delineate factors that have led to the current state of anesthetic practice.
尽管麻醉学作为一门专业的发展及其在卢旺达的实践是在独立后才出现的，但有几个因素对当前麻醉护理的提供状况产生了影响。总体而言，欧洲对非洲的殖民统治，尤其是比利时的控制，是对教育产生重大影响的主要因素。这种连锁反应对医疗保健以及当今卢旺达社会的其他方面都产生了持久的影响。高等教育直到20世纪后半叶才开始，这使得该国受过教育的人口发展滞后，数量不足以解决医疗保健问题并为其民众提供充分的护理。本文将审视卢旺达的历史，并阐述导致当前麻醉实践状况的因素。
