District health information officer Bernard Uteka says lack of diagnosis skills among clinical officers in Mazabuka is the major challenge facing most health workers in the district.
Mr. Uteka said this has led to an increase in Malaria cases.
Mr Uteka was speaking when he presented a paper to a District HIV/AIDs Taskforce two- day workshop in Mazabuka today.
He complained that some patients were given wrong medication because of lack of diagnosis skills among health workers.Â
He wondered why cases of Malaria have continue to rise when the district health management team has embarked on an aggressive indoor residual spraying programme and mosquito nets distribution exercise in all rural health centresÂ
Mr Uteka noted that ironically, Malaria incidences before the commencement of the spraying programme where low but wondered what has gone wrong.
The meeting was attended by various NGOs and heads of government departments
