AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> GOVERNMENT would spend 27bn\/- in financial year 2021\/22 to renovate old district hospitals in the country, Parliament was informed on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Deputy Minister in the President\u2019s Office (Regional Administration and Local Government) Dr Festo Dugange made the disclosure as he was responding to a supplementary question from Makete Member of Parliament Festo Sanga.<\/p>\n

He said the main aim is to improve infrastructure of the old hospitals for better service delivery in public health facilities.<\/p>\n

MP Sanga wanted to know when government would renovate the Makete District Hospital in Njombe Region.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Mbinga Rural MP Benaya Kapinga (CCM) had asked when the government would build the Mbinga District Hospital in Ruvuma Region.<\/p>\n

Responding, Dr Dugange said the government would consider construction of the hospital in the coming financial year since the District Council has already allocated a plot for the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe council missed the allocation for the construction in the previous financial years as by the time of disbursement, it was yet to agree on the location of the new site,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Between 2015 and 2020, the government has built 101 district hospitals, a move that has increased the number of the facilities from 77 in 2015 to 178 last year.<\/p>\n

The minister said it is highly encouraged that the district hospitals should be built at the headquarters of the council in question for effective service delivery, proper supervision and management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
