Bwana Mkubwa Member of Parliament says he is constructing to clinics at total cost of K800, 000 using Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
Dr. Jonas Chanda tells Money FM News that the clinics are Mwenye Clinic at Mwenye compound in Chichele and Kantolomba Clinic in Kantolomba Township.
Dr. Chanda says the construction has started with the digging of the foundations.
“The clinics will operate on a 24-hour basis, and will have a maternity wing, inpatient wards and outpatient services. Pregnant women will no longer have to trek to Kabushi and Twapia clinics at night,” he said.
He said this is the first time residents of these two informal townships will have access to comprehensive health services since the 1960s.
“In the 2016 election campaigns I promised them these clinics. Both clinics are being constructed using the labour-based model whereby qualified builders and general workers from the community are constructing the projects themselves under supervision by Ndola City Council engineers. This model empowers locals financially and promotes community ownership of projects,” said Dr. Chanda.
The total cost for the two clinics is about K800, 000
