Africa-Press – Mozambique. About 31,000 residents of Matola-Rio, Djuba and Djonasse, in Maputo province, now have better health services with the inauguration last Friday of new consultation rooms at the Matola-Rio Health Centre.
The Matola-Rio Health Centre already existed, but had only 12 consultation rooms, which, according to the district director of Health and Social Action, Etelvina Muhambe, was not enough to support the 23 workers there, and unnecessarily lengthened service times for users.
That’s why Mozal decided to invest around 10 million meticais to speed up service to users there, Director of Corporate Affairs Gil Cumaio said.
“The Matola-Rio Health Centre, rehabilitated and expanded with the construction, from scratch, of two medical offices and a porch that will serve to accommodate patients in more humanised conditions, will bring improvements in the provision of quality health services to the community,” he said.
The permanent secretary of the government of Boane district, António Francisco, was present at the event, and said that, in addition to providing more comfort to health centre users, working conditions for health employees were also enhanced.
In addition to the Matola-Rio Health Centre, Mozal on Friday also delivered a sewing centre valued at six million meticais to the Association of Widows and Single Mothers, which the provincial government said would improve the life of the community.
