In the health sector, Mr Hichilema said Level Three Namwala District Hospital will be completed next year with its annexes such as Mortuary, Theatre as well as provision of an Ambulance and equipment.

He has since directed the Provincial Minister to ensure that the facility is completed within 2023.

He said his government will not segregate any province in terms of development based on political stronghold.

Meanwhile, Southern Province Minister Cornelius Mweetwa has thanked the President for his continued remainder to the public service workers to remain devoted to duty despite different places of deployment.
