Kanyasho revealed that “My Ministry will start feasibility study on the land which the council already identified for the construction.”

She promised to address some of the problems which she identified during her visit

In his remarks district medical officer Dr Aisha Katita emphasized the need for immediate support as the facility is serving more patients beyond its capacity
