In the past, to obtain hospital care, the residents of Jangamo district had to travel long distances, often on foot, to reach the cities of Inhambane or Maxixe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPregnant women about to give birth will no longer have to make their way across long distances to obtain specialist treatment\u201d, Nyusi added.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed that the new district hospital will also encourage tourism, which, prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, was regarded as the key economic area for Inhambane province. \u201cTourists need a guarantee of security and medical treatment in the event of any health emergency\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Nyusi was pleased to note that construction of the new hospital included houses for the doctors, boreholes for water supply and an electricity generator. \u201cThis is fundamental\u201d, he declared.<\/p>\n<p>The President said that, from 2019 to 2020, the national health service had expanded from 1,674 to 1,721 health units, a growth of 2.8 per cent. But most of these are health posts, and health centres, rather than hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe challenges still remains\u201d, said Nyusi, \u201csince only 47 of the country\u2019s 154 districts have a district hospital\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Jangamo hospital has a 55 bed capacity, and was financed by the Islamic Development Bank, which provided 11 million US dollars. Work on the hospital began in February 2018, and, although it has only now been inaugurated, ended in March 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The facilities include an operating theatre, emergency services, a blood bank, a maternity ward, a waiting house where pregnant women can stay before they give birth, a pharmacy, and a morgue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you can see, our philosophy is not simply to proclaim the district as a pole of development, but to take development to the district\u201d, said Nyusi. \u201cWe are taking hospitals, banks, electricity, water, markets and much more to the districts\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He also urged the managers and doctors at the hospital to respect the patients, and to avoid illicit charges for services \u201cbecause this damages the image of the health professionals, destroys the efforts of the government\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-mozambique: Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi on Friday inaugurated a new hospital in Jangamo district, in the southern province of Inhambane, as part of the presidential initiative \u201cOne district, one hospital\u201d, to ensure that each of Mozambique\u2019s 154 districts has a reference hospital. \u201cThe idea is to guarantee that, in a short space of time, Mozambique [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":84,"featured_media":771,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,8,12],"tags":[246,329],"class_list":["post-785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-news","category-homepage-english","category-policy","tag-filipe-nyusi","tag-jangamo-district"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.1 (Yoast SEO v27.0) -
