Governor of Cabo Delgado province, Valige Tauabo, has inaugurated the Marokani Resettlement Village Health Centre in Nanjua, Meza administrative post, Ancuabe district.
Handing the health unit over to the Marokani community, Governor Tauabo described the action as part of the health sector’s strategic plan to bring health services closer to the population.
The infrastructure is made up of several blocks, including a maternity ward, outpatient care block, logistics block, two Type II residences for employees, a water supply system and a lighting system using electricity from the national grid.
After inaugurating the centre, Governor Tauabao laid the foundation stone for a market and a community multimedia centre, projects vital to boosting the economic and social activities of the resettlement village.
The community multimedia centre will provide the Marokani community with digital resources, such as computer equipment, and a community radio station for communication and education.
The Marokani Health Centre was built with the support of World Bank funds as part of institutional strengthening programmes to improve healthcare for the population of Cabo Delgado.
The health centre will serve approximately 46,628 inhabitants of the villages of Marokani, Nanjua, Manjasse, Nsanja, Mahera and 25 de Junho.
Tauabo said that the inauguration of the health unit was a clear demonstration of the government’s implementation of the agenda for the development of social infrastructures and improvement of access to health care for the population of Cabo Delgado.
He reminded the population that prevention was the best way to avoid diseases, so they should not neglect good personal and collective hygiene habits, washing their hands with soap and water or ash before and after eating and after using the toilets.
