Four rural health centres are to be re-opened on May 5 as part of a United States Embassy funded rehabilitation of the country's clinics. US ambassador Robert Loftis will officially hand over the Thaba Ts'oeu, Tsaeng, Mpharane and Lits'oeneng clinics to the Minister of health, Dr. Motloheloa Phooko. Work on
the rehabilitation of the four clinics, which included installation of solar
system, improvement of radio systems, reconstruction of clinics' buildings
and relocation of the health post, started in March 2003 and took a year to
complete, led by members of the Lesotho Defence Force. The handing over
ceremony will be held at the Lits'oeneng Health Centre in the Mafeteng
district, the rehabilitation programme's leader, Mr. Peterson Lekoekoe, told
the Lesotho News Agency (LENA). |
