THE fifth phase government has spent 1.8bn/-on the construction of a district hospital in
Rorya District, Mara Region.
"We received
1.5bn/- at the beginning and later 300m/- which makes 1.8bn/- we have
received from the government for the hospital project," Rorya District
Council Executive Director (DED), Charles Kitamuru Chacha told 'Daily
News' during an exclusive interview held in his office early this week.
"The money has been
spent on the construction of seven buildings that will make it possible
for the new hospital to begin offering health services this week."
He said they had
also received 15 medical experts, including doctors and nurses, medical
equipment and medication. Mara Regional Commissioner (RC), Adam Malima
is expected to launch the hospital today.
"The RC will launch
the hospital today. I ask Rorya residents to start using their
hospital," the DED said. "We have now a district hospital, thanks to the
fifth phase government under the leadership of President John Magufuli
because Rorya has never had a district hospital since the independence
of this country."
Rorya residents
have been travelling to neighbouring Tarime District Hospital or Shirati
Hospital, but now they have their own in the district.
He said the
construction of the hospital began with seven buildings, including the
Out Patient Department (OPD), pharmacy, laboratory, mother and child
clinic and radiology.
"We started with
seven buildings and four of them have been completed and the remaining
are in final stages," the council director explained.
