Mu Rwanda, dufite amoko akurikira y'ibiribwa bitegurwa hifashishijwe imyumbati:

• Ubugari: ni umutsima uteguwe mu ifu y'imyumbati. Iyo fu iboneka mu buryo bubiri: ubwa mbere ni ukwanika imyumbati mibisi ku zuba, uko yakabaye cyangwa ikasemo uduce hanyuma yakuma bakayisya. uburyo bwa kabiri ni ukubanza ukinika imyumbati mu mazi kamaramo iminsi 3 kugeza kuri 5. Kwinika imyumbati ni bwo buryo benshi bahitamo mu gihe bafite amazi ahagje. Aho badafite amazi ahagije banika imyumbati yakuma bakayisya.
• Gari: ni utubumbe duto tw'imyumbati y'imivunde hanyuma igategurwa ku buryo tubikika ku buryo bworoshye ndetse no kuduteka bikagira vuba. Gari ni ibiryo bibereye abanyamugi.

Umutsima ubonetse bawubumbamo udutsima duto bakadupfunyika mu makoma maze bakongera bakawuteka ku mwuka. Nyuma baratureka tugahora. Shikwanga ishobora kuribwa ihoze cyangwa ishyushye. Shikwanga ishobora kumara iminsi 3 kugeza kuri 7 ibitse ahantu hatari mu byuma bikonjesha kandi icyo ifpunyitsemo kitapfunduwe, naho ubundi  yakuma ntibe ikiriwe cyangwa ikinjirwamo na za mikorobe.
