Dr. Daniel UDATINYA
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
MBBS · MMed (Urology) · FCS (Urol) ECSA · MPH
Dr. Daniel Udatinya is a Consultant Urologic Surgeon, academic lecturer,
and clinical researcher, and the founder of Urology Health Consulting
Limited. He established the practice in 2026 to give patients in Kigali
discreet, coordinated, and specialist-led access to urological care.
He currently serves as Consultant Urologic Surgeon at Rwanda Military
Referral and Teaching Hospital (RMRTH), where he provides tertiary-level
specialist care, performs open, endoscopic, and minimally invasive
urologic procedures, and supervises the training of urology residents
and junior doctors.
He completed his Master of Medicine (MMed) in Urology at the University
of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, following a five-year senior
registrar residency across two of the university's academic hospitals,
and is a Fellow of the College of Surgeons in Urologic Surgery (FCS-Urol)
through COSECSA, alongside a Master of Public Health (MPH). Between
2025 and 2026, he undertook advanced international training in
endourology and minimally invasive urology at Sahyadri and Manipal
Hospitals in Pune, India — covering percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL),
retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), laser lithotripsy, the Rezum
procedure for BPH, prostate cancer screening and management, and kidney
transplant medicine.
In 2026, Dr. Udatinya completed a urology clinical observership in India,
undertaken to broaden his exposure to contemporary urological practice,
particularly in endourology, minimally invasive urological surgery,
and advanced clinical and surgical decision-making. This experience
provided valuable opportunities to observe different approaches to
patient assessment, operative planning, surgical techniques,
perioperative care, and multidisciplinary management within a
high-volume tertiary-care setting.
Importantly, he undertook this observership without external financial
funding or sponsorship. The costs associated with the travel,
accommodation, and related expenses were self-funded. He pursued the
opportunity because of his strong commitment to continuous professional
development and to bringing relevant knowledge and skills back to
strengthen urological services and training in his home country, Rwanda.
This experience has further strengthened his ambition to obtain
structured international training and mentorship in advanced urology,
particularly endourology, minimally invasive surgery and uro-oncology.
His long-term objective is to transfer the knowledge and skills gained
abroad to Rwanda through clinical practice, teaching, mentorship, and
capacity building, thereby contributing to sustainable development of
specialist urological services and training in his home country.
Alongside clinical practice, he has held teaching appointments at the
University of the Witwatersrand, Kigali Institute of Health, and Mount
Kenya University, and mentors medical students, residents, and junior
specialists. His published research spans urologic oncology, endourology,
and congenital urologic disorders, and he has presented at international
conferences including the International AIDS Conference in Canada and
the TUFH International Conference in Uganda.
At Urology Health Consulting Limited, Dr. Udatinya combines this
clinical expertise with a commitment to clear communication, clinical
discretion, and continuity of care — ensuring each patient is guided
by a single, dedicated consultant from initial assessment through to
full recovery.
