Flanked by St. Francis Senior Medical Superintendant, Lalik Banda, Ms. Tembo-Masebo implored health workers to work hard and improve the delivery of health care.
“I am aware of old infrastructure and lack of drugs confronting you as health workers. I am here to assure you that government is working to improve your situation. I must caution you to use proper methods of communication when aggrieved than rushing to social media,” advised Ms. Tembo-Masebo during a familiarization tour of St. Francis Hospital.
And, St. Francis Senior Medical Superintendent, Dr. Banda, briefed Tembo-Masebo on urgent need of medical personnel as the hospital receives a lot of patients, some from the neighboring Mozambique.
“There is need to decentralize the blood back, as St. Francis Hospital deals with a lot of emergencies such as accidents,” prayed Dr. Banda.
