Under the [[Twubakane Decentralisation and Health Project]], responsibility for primary healthcare has moved from the national level to district level. Healthcare centres in the city are run as a mixture of public sector, government-assisted and private sector, with some traditional healers also operating.{{sfn|REMA|2013|p=34}} Not all residents have easy access to these facilities, however, with some having to walk more than 30 minutes to reach the nearest centre.{{sfn|REMA|2013|p=35}} The government has devolved the financing and management of healthcare to local communities, through a system of health insurance providers called ''mutuelles de santé''. The ''mutuelles'' were piloted in 1999, and were made available nationwide by the mid-2000s, with the assistance of international development partners.<ref>{{cite journal |year=2008 |title=Sharing the burden of sickness: mutual health insurance in Rwanda |journal=Bulletin of the World Health Organization |issn=0042-9686 |volume=86 |issue=11 |pages=817–908 |url=https://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/86/11/08-021108/en/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081113032750/http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/86/11/08-021108/en/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=13 November 2008}}</ref>
