We need to move further and demand that the Government trains enough health workers and post them in medical facilities across the country. The Government should also put in place facilities ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: After strengthening health facilities, we need enough manpower. After getting enough manpower, we need enough resources to make sure that expertise treatment is spread across the country.
