First phase of Mpika District Hospital construction works completed

The construction of Mpika District Hospital in Muchinga Province under Phase One at a cost of K10.1 million has been completed.

A Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS) crew that visited the site yesterday found workers busy doing final touches on the facility.

Contractor, Walltech Enterprises, says it is set to hand over the project to the Government this week.
Walltech Enterprise Site Engineer, Wu Chunhua, who spoke through an interpreter, Oscar Matee, said his company is happy to hand over a finished product to the Government.

Mr Chunhua said his company is grateful to the Government for having been given the chance to construct a hospital for the people of Mpika district.

And Walltech Enterprise workers told ZANIS that they are also happy for having been given a chance to work for the Chinese company engaged to construct Phase One of first level district hospital.

Oscar Mate, who spoke on behalf of other workers, said they had gained a lot of experience within the few months they had been working on the project.

Mr Mate said they would be able to use the gained skills even at other projects and also commended the Government for the introduction of minimum wage which he said had worked well for them as they had been receiving good salaries.

Mpika residents talked to said the hospital, once commissioned, would bring great relief to them and they currently depended on services from Chilonga Mission Hospital situated about 30 km from Mpika.

One of the residents, Moses Shula, said he was optimistic that the new hospital would provide quality health services to the local people once commissioned.

The works under Phase Two of the project are set to commence soon and will involve the construction of a mortuary and staff houses.

    • Wise one wise one how many times did i call you…. don’t fear them comment pliz for they say wisdom of mankind is “foolishness” in simple terms some say one’s meat is another mans poison but all in all mankind should uphold the intended purpose of the creator.

  2. All development is happening in the northern regions. Only vote for PFools if you are Bemba, Satanic or both.

    • You can die with envy — jealousy .. that’s your problem. We are PF and you are whatever. Mind your business . We vote ours and vote yours. Chapwa

    • I challenge you to tell me what developments are in Northern Province. Also tell me what developments are going on in Western Province where you hail from – be truthful this time.

  3. The Devil you know is better than an under5 angel you ve never tested. Infrastructure wise, PF has score 110%. If you want argue???

  4. Donor sponsored projects like levy and heroes stadium continue regardless change of govt , think out side the box bane. PF failed to reach minimum acceptable performance standard, not that they did fuck all, failing by 2 or 200% is till a fail. Let’s hope high and get new blood.

  6. Great work well done PF. Please keep it up and that’s why we are voting for you in 2015. Lungu is winning come 21 January 2015 while HH and UPND are losing for the fourth time in row. HH is clueless who is now using the strategy of somebody he called uneducated. Worse is that him HH has been just promising anything like a person who is mad.

    Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

  7. What well done PF. Who told you that PF will win by how much praise and blogs you post. PF is buried.
