The funtions do not include provision of mortuary services which is a function of the Ministry of Medical Services. (b) My Ministry has the mandate to run and manage dispensaries and health centres. However, should a community feel strongly that one of their health centres should be upgraded to a high level, they are expected to ... view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have already indicated that the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation takes care of only dispensaries and health centres. We do not have mortuaries in the health centres. So, if the local people had actually requested for a mortuary, then we need to have the request done to the Ministry of Medical Services which will take over the hospital. Once an X-ray and mortuary facilities have been built in a health centre, then it ceases to be a health centre and becomes a sub-district hospital, which belongs to the Ministry of Medical Services. view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have already indicated that there are particular levels of services that we can provide in particular facilities. In a dispensary, we provide a lower level of services. In a health centre, we provide a slightly higher level of services. If a particular community has decided that a mortuary is their priority, then they should able to apply to the relevant Ministry to upgrade that facility to a sub-district hospital. view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is up to the local people to apply to the Ministry of Medical Services now. Once that facility has had a mortuary, it becomes a sub-district hospital. So, the hon. Member can as well actually put his people together, apply to the District Development Committee (DDC) and notify us that this facility is not a sub-district hospital. view
