Renewal negotiations between the international NGO and the Ministry of Health have protracted for about a year now.<\/p>\n

He however did not disclose what these \u201chiccups\u201d are but added that the ministry will see \u201cwhat is the best for the country and the sector and it will go for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
