    "content": "(b) Matungu district is among more than 100 new districts created since 2007. The Ministry has received requests to upgrade lower level facilities like Matungu Sub- district Hospital to become district hospitals in all these new districts. However, the Ministry’s annual development allocation of Kshs300 million is insufficient to meet the upgrading needs averaging close to Kshs500 million per facility. So what we have is less than what we require to upgrade a single facility. In view of this inadequate budget, the Ministry will progressively prioritize construction of key infrastructure in the facilities earmarked for upgrading within the available budget. Such infrastructure improvement will be matched by commensurate deployment of personnel. Matungu Sub-district Hospital will be given consideration within this framework alongside other proposed district hospitals."
