In Rwanda’s health sector, most health facility leaders focus primarily on clinical and curative services, as this is their core mandate. When hygiene equipment such as pedal waste bins, scrubs or cleaning tools is provided directly to institutions, a common and understandable tendency is to reduce the already limited hygiene budget and reallocate funds toward urgent clinical needs. Over time, this can unintentionally slow improvements in Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) standards.
Similarly, when such materials are offered to general cleaning providers without structured management systems, there is a possibility that equipment may not be maintained, tracked, or planned for replacement once fully depreciated. This can create discontinuity and reduce efficiency in hygiene service delivery.
Lucor Ltd takes a structured, professional approach to ensure sustainability and accountability:
✅ Professional Stewardship of Resources
All contributed equipment and support are managed directly by Lucor and are not redistributed or donated to client institutions. This ensures proper usage, accountability, and preservation of value. Equipment is deployed as part of our service delivery, and if a contract ends, materials return with Lucor — preventing loss, misuse, or neglect.
✅ Affordability for Health Facilities
Because costly equipment is already integrated into our service model, facilities access quality hygiene services at more affordable rates, without compromising standards.
✅ Improved Staff Motivation
Cost efficiencies are reinvested into fair compensation and motivation systems for hygiene personnel — a proven driver of consistent, reliable performance.
✅ Planned Depreciation & Replacement
We track equipment life cycles and plan replacements proactively, ensuring continuity instead of degradation.
✅ Accountable Use by Trained Personnel
Resources are operated exclusively by trained professionals following IPC guidelines and facility hygiene protocols.
This model strengthens long-term hygiene capacity in health facilities by focusing on:
Sustained IPC compliance,
Workforce professionalism,
Consistent service quality,
Responsible resource management.
By contributing equipment or financial support to Lucor, you are investing in a scalable, professionally managed model that lowers barriers for health facilities, maximizes impact, and safeguards hygiene standards over time.
