Patients admitted to Kabompo district hospital are eating one meal per day because of inadequate industrial cooking pots.
District hospital administrator, Nancy Mukosa confirmed the development to ZANIS in an interview in Kabompo yesterday.
Ms Musoka said the other two electrical pots broke down several years ago and could not be repaired because spare parts are not locally available leaving the kitchen to operate on just one pot.
She however said that the hospital is awaiting the purchase of a new industrial pot by the l ministry of health.
Ms Musoka confirmed that at the moment only one pot is being used for cooking all the hospital meals at breakfast, lunch and supper.
Last month provincial permanent secretary Augustine Seyuba visited the hospital and said that government would look into the issue.
ZANIS/
Patients should strike by refusing to take medicine. They are already on forced hunger strike by PF government.
Outside Zambia they can do that, not in Zambia without human rights. Means death for the patients. But this is a pathetic situation in this country.
PF yangu yeeeh!
You go to the hospital to get healed not on a fattening diet. Let family bring food from home. The hospital will be held accountable if they are not providing treatment.
Where is our presido kanshi mwe bantu?
Lucky bastards, they even have a meal? Their friends go on hungry stomachs!
why blame the PF govt, ms mukosa said several years ago, meaning before PF came into power. PF will rectify that small issue in no time. patients hang on!
