He said the government is determined to strengthen the health sector in the country and that construction of district hospitals is part of the plan.
“The fifth phase government is determined to improve health services across the country; we are looking forward to bring changes in the sector,” he said.
He revealed that in the 2017/18 FY, the government has managed to increase health centres that conduct surgery from 115 to 208.
He said the construction of health centres is in line with the construction of district hospitals in various areas in the country.

The Minister has directed all councils across the country to set strategies that will lead to an increase of revenue collection and ensure proper uses of public fund.
“I would like all council directors to ensure proper and effective collection of revenue in their areas; we are going to give a stern warning to all councils that are recording poor performance,” he noted.
