RESIDENTS of Kabanana site-and-service in Lusaka’s Mandevu constituency are happy that Government has finally built a clinic.
And Mandevu member of Parliament Jean Kapata is happy that Government is living up to its promise of taking healthcare services closer to the people.
Community representative Grace Maingo said the setting up of a clinic is a huge relief, especially to mothers and children.
Maingo said previously, people in the area used to shun medical services because the nearest clinic is very far away.
“Indeed this PF government is working. We used to travel long distances to access antenatal services,” she said.
And Kapata is equally happy that her constituency has four out of the 650 health posts Government is building countrywide.
“I am so happy that one of the four health centres we have benefited from Government is now complete. Health services have been taken closer to [the people],” she said.
She could not state the cost of the clinic, saying it is a Government-driven project.
“Mothers can now take their children to the clinic as it is nearby. This is in line with government policy to take health services to people after every five kilometres,” Kapata said.
She cautioned the residents against vandalism of the prefabricated health post.
