Mr Agisa being a former health worker at the hospital said, “working in the space of health is very challenging as it deals with the lives of people and thus, meeting the needs and working conditions of health workers is vital.”
Chief Executive Officer for the South Fly DDA Mr Tawa Gebia said this initiative by the minister will add value to the nursing services at the hospital.
He also highlighted the responsibility of South Fly DDA in providing goods and services within the district which the hospital is no exception.
