Zambia: President Hakainde Hichilema has commended health personnel in the country for their unweaving dedication to providing care for the sick people in the country.
President Hichilema says the health workers have exhibited hard work despite facing challenges such as infrastructure.
President Hichilema adds that caregivers should be celebrated and encouraged to continue working hard as the government is doing everything possible to improve their working environment.
ZANIS reports that the Head of State said this today when he presented 127 baby hampers to mothers at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH), which has recorded 8 Christmas babies.
“ The D block here is smaller than the number of babies. And as government, we will ensure that we take care of the challenges faced in the health sector”, President Hichilema stated.
The Head of State has empathized with families that have lost their loved ones due to cholera, saying the development underscores the government‘s commitment to continue investing in all diseases, including cholera.
As a Cholera champion, the Head of State has been advocating and lobbying for Zambia to be the location for producing Cholera vaccines.
He noted that this will also make the country a supplier of the Cholera vaccine in the southern region.
“ We have been advocating for clean water supply, sanitation, and vaccines. We are working with our friends outside who have the technology and are producing cholera vaccines to help Zambia, which is also the location of the production of cholera vaccines. We are making headway,” the head of state noted.
With this advancement in the health sector in the country, people would get better treatment opportunities and overall improve the country’s dynamics and show casts in the world.
He said positive discrimination would be applied once the vision was realized, adding that the local people would be the priority and treated on an emergency basis.
