MKURANGA: RESIDENTS of Mkuranga District are set to benefit from improved healthcare services with the construction of a new theatre at the district hospital, estimated to cost 300m/-.

The District Executive Director (DED), Waziri Kombo, confirmed the development during an inspection of the designated construction site. He was accompanied by a team of heads of departments from the Mkuranga District Council.

“When completed, this new theatre will enhance the quality of medical services not only for Mkuranga residents but also for patients from surrounding areas,” said Kombo.

He noted that the district hospital has already seen significant improvements in service delivery, thanks to the construction of several modern buildings, which have helped elevate the standard of care provided to the community.
