Deputy Minister of Health Halima Daud says government will upgrade some health centers as a way to reduce congestion in district hospitals.
Daud was speaking on Friday in Nsanje after inspecting health service delivery at the district’s main health facility.
She said that once health centers are upgraded to community hospitals, they will be able to offer major health services like scanning and admissions which will help to ease congestion at the district health facility.
In her remarks, Daud praised the district health office team for maintaining cleanliness at the facility.
Chairperson for Nsanje District Council, Mike Kafalachi, attributed the improved cleanliness to good management at the district health facility.
