Speaking when she addressed Health Personnel at Liteta Hospital, Ms. Kasanda warned against sabotaging government efforts of providing quality health care to the people. She said government is aware of the challenges faced by health personnel and that this should not be used as an excuse for poor service delivery.
Ms. Kasanda who is also Chief Government Spokesperson said government is in receipt of complaints of poor attitude towards patients by health personnel at the hospital and that this will not be tolerated.
And Acting Chisamba District Health Director Isabel Meleki said there is need for government to construct a new district hospital to cater for the growing population.
