The government has committed its stance to continue renovating the dilapidated buildings of its designated district hospitals in line with constructing new hospitals in the country. The deputy minister of State in President’s office responsible for Local Government and Regional Administration (TAMISEMI) Josephat Kandege said in parliament early this week when responding to a question earlier raised by the special seat legislator Rehema Juma Migila (CUF).
