Fantastic news.
Yeah but rather late for MMD and why 4 months before erections?
Then all politicians especially mmd stop wasting national resources in south african hospitals. This rehabilitation of hospitals shoud be country wide not only uth. It has taken 47 years after independence just to do what has been done.Its really shameful for zambians to be going to neighbouring countries just to seek medical treatment. You should having been doing this all the time, dont waist for elections. Otherwise well done though, too late.
How many beds does that ICU have ? 5 or 6? For a population of 2.5 or 3 million people in lusaka? And what are ‘acceptable international standards’ , what equipement and drugs are there?. Its all BULLSHIT.
Wouldn’t be surprised if most wasn’t spent on repairing the leaky roof. Hope the lighting has been improved.
we have to reiterate, having the latest equipment without simple medicines is not progress.
The real test of health development, is when people stop going abroad for simple ailments.
job well done Dr Kasonka let pipo living in foolsparadise be
