DC Shekimweri said by conducting the medical campaign that cost 30m/-, the Police Force showed high level patriotism and brought relief to the people and reduced the burden of medical expenses that some might have shouldered if they went to other hospitals.
“Personally, I am pleased and satisfied that you have done this work with patriotism,” he expressed.
“Police have implemented this project at a low cost, let me assure you that the government is ready to support you in this important initiative because you have supported the government’s efforts in serving the people,” the DC added.

The DC capitalised on the opportunity to urge citizens to come forward and fully participate in the coming national population and housing census slated for 23rd this month.

Briefing the DC and his delegation, head of the health centre, Redemta Kisima, mentioned challenges facing the facility as lack of buildings, especially the maternity ward, specialist doctors and the operating room.
