That’s most styupid picture of I have seen.
And thus thug buys silly ambulances at exorbitant prices so that he can stand up and pose for a picture like that. He is another disguised thief, and anyone with a pocket must be ready to be his jailer and keep the keys to his cell somewhere where we will not find them. Hospitals have no drugs but he sat through a cabinet to allow the pruchase of ambulances that are overpriced and fire tenders that are priced to insult generations of Zambians!
That’s good!! disease prevention is the key element in health sector, That’s why community health assistants should be recommended by carrying out this important work. But surprisingly, community health assistants in Chipili district of Luapula province does not get the rural hardship allowances since they got employment in 2015, despite working hard in disease surveillance, control and research.
he looks like Morpheus from the matrix
