“I am grateful to government for always prioritizing people’s health in communities. We have a number of projects completed and others currently underway across all sectors, including construction of Chintheche operating theatre ongoing in my area,” he said.

Minister of Health, Khumbize Kandodo Chiponda, said the launch is a continuation of development projects in the health sector, which was started by President Dr Lazarus Chakwera when he came to power in 2020.

“We did mapping to see where people walked more than 15 kilometres and found the need of about 900 health posts across the country. Almost 200 health posts have been constructed,” she said.

According to Kandodo Chiponda, funds for construction of the health posts are already committed, and the health posts will have a complete package needed for functionality.

“We are happy as a ministry because we are in line with attainment of Sustainable Development Goal number three which says every person should have good health and good well-being. That can only be achieved if people have access to health facilities.

“These health posts are in very hard to reach areas. People will be able to access safe motherhood services, youth friendly services among others hence improved health service delivery, ” she said.

Christiana Banda from Lungo Village in Group Village Head Gombo said upon completion they will be able to access health services at any time, save money and time they use to access the same somewhere.

The four health posts will be constructed in the areas of Senior Chief Malanda, Sub Traditional Authority (STA) Siyalimba, TA Kabunduli and STA Mndola.
