COPPERBELT Province mobile hospital coordinator Alex Makupe has said the unit has continued recording successes in healthcare provision because the Government is providing adequate funding.
Dr Makupe said in Ndola yesterday that a detailed report on the findings of the team of doctors and medical specialists assigned to provide mobile health services to the rural communities in Mpongwe and Masaiti districts had been submitted to the Ministry of Health.
He said after reviewing the report, the Government was expected to come up with ways to further improve service delivery and effectiveness.
“The Government has shown its political will, there is a growing demand for the mobile services and this is really challenging to the team of doctors and other support staff,” Dr Makupe said.
He said the mobile hospital unit would this month-end be stationed at the Zambia International Trade Fair in Ndola to provide treatment to visitors to the Fair.
Dr Makupe said it was important to allow members of the public a chance to appreciate the operations of mobile hospitals and at the same time get treatment.
“From June 30 up to July 5, we are going to be at the Trade Fair Grounds where we will be attending to some minor health problems and emergencies during the show period,” he said.
Dr Makupe said the hospital unit would next month be shifted to Lufwanyama District to resume its normal rural healthcare provision.
