Government has set aside KR 31 million rebased for the recruitment of more health workers, and a further KR 41 million kwacha rebased under the Ministry of Community Development Mother and Child Health for the recruitment of another 2500 workers this year.
This comes in the wake of increasing cases of unqualified medical personnel attending to patients in rural health centers.
Health Deputy Minister Patrick Chikusu has said the unavailability of health workers is continuously being attended to by the ministry.
He says just in 2012, the Ministry spent K 27 billion on the recruitment of health workers.Dr Chikusu adds that preference is being given to rural areas.
