Katete District Commissioner Elemani Mwanza has bemoaned the dirty condition of the maternity wards and the other surrounding shelters at St. Francis hospital in Katete.
Speaking when he toured the hospital, Mr. Mwanza observed that the hospital shelters which accommodate pregnant women and people looking after patients are extremely dirty.
He noted that the maternity wards and the other surrounding shelters at the hospital had no toilets and that the roofs were leaking.
Mr. Mwanza pointed out that a disease outbreak was imminent if urgent actions were not taken to rectify the situation.
He said the situation was compounded by the fact that it was in the same shelters where food for the patients was being prepared.
Mr. Mwanza has since directed the council, who are the owners of the shelters, to immediately build toilets and start cleaning the shelters or alternatively hand over the structures to St. Francis Hospital.
And Katete District Health Board director Akafwilangache Mkandawire said the prevailing situation at the hospital should not be allowed to continue.
St. Francis Hospital is the largest referral hospital in Eastern Province.

Shame on you Katete district health director you even have the energy to comment also that the situation at the hospt sldn’t continue, i guess you have been in office for some time why didn’t you observe this before the DC? How many post delivery sepsis have you caused in this dirty delivery room,what is support supervision suppose to mean to you? what you know is sit in your office and behave like a very educated boss but in the real sense you are a danger to our patients.Pliz the provincial health director Demote him and replace him with one who is going to restracture all the mgt at this hospt.

Ku Chipata,Katete…ni kumushi…not surprised that this is happening.
Guys, let us put our heads together deal with these small problems. I dont know hpw pipo would describ dirty. It is good that the DC found the dirty, and I think it is her/his job to lobby for more staffs for the hospital. I have to St francis hosp and I have being to many hospitals including mine hospitals. the truth is that St francis is actually do much more better. Go to hospitals like Ronald Rose in mufulira, livingstone hospital, Kitwe, Ndola, UTH which is the dirtest. Worse with the Kapoko issue the situation will be worser than what you think it is. Stay Blessed
