PF INVESTMENT IN THE HEALTH SECTOR

By Amb. Emmanuel Mwamba

I saw images of the completion of the construction of the Nchelenge District Hospital.

Like the Mfuwe District Hospital,whose pictures were circulated recently, these facilities were part of a larger comprehensive project. It’s good to see these projects come to completion.

The program was as follows;

Construction of;
●650 Health Posts
● 65 District hospitals
● 115 Mini hospitals
● Upgrade of Lusaka Health Centers to First-Level Hospitals

In 2018, Government started the construction of 5 x 80-Bed District Hospitals in Mfuwe, Nchelenge, Mwansabombwe, Kitwe and Ndola which projects are almost complete.

This was a complete turnkey project, from concept to completion, for the design, construction and equipping of five 80 bed Hospitals and 115 Mini Hospitals.

● To decongest the University Teaching Hospital a special program was implemented with the support the Japanese Government through Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to upgrade health centres in Lusaka to first-level hospitals, where basic surgeries, including familiar diseases and cesarean sections, could be performed.

The Ministry of Health strengthened and expanded the functions of the first-level hospital facilities in Matero, Chilenje, Kanyama, Chawama and Chipata townships.

In 2017, the Ministry of Health developed the Health Financing Strategy (HFS) 2017-2027 which provides a framework for improving and developing health financing in Zambia to contribute to overall health system goals and objectives.

The strategy aligned with the country’s vision of having a healthy nation by 2030, the National Health Strategic Plan 2017-2021, the seventh National Development Plan, and the National Health Policy (NHP) 2012.

  1. This man’s propaganda is outdated I hear he is their propaganda guru.lol
    What a waste!!
    Try something else PF was in power and what they did is what they were elected to do.
    So why this article ..?
    The problem with PF is that there is no mismatch between the borrowed money billions and the so called infrastructure development!!
    Do u even know Mr propaganda what a billion dollars can do?

  2. This lunatic thinks he fool people with this outdated propaganda. The days of Joseph Goebbels are no more. Just put your efforts in trying to sort out the chaos in the sinking boat.
    Mwamba is a liar who thinks he is a very smart man. No, he is actually a very dull chap.
