Mkuranga. Only 30 villages out of 125 in the district have dispensaries. This was revealed by Mkuranga Member of Parliament Mr Abdalah Ulega during a public rally recently.
The MP said villages without dispensaries are located on islands, where transport services are poor.
“I understand the importance of quality health services for mothers and children. I am planning to mobilise resources to construct dispensaries in villages with other stakeholders,” said Mr Ulega.
In addition the District Hospital lacks an X-ray machine and the lawmaker said the district has submitted a request to the ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children.
“The ministry has promised that the X-ray machine will be installed at the District Hospital anytime from now,” said Mr Ulega.
A resident, Ms Mariam Hamis pleaded to the MP to hold the government responsible to improve the health sector in the district.
