Dr. Katema said Vubwi district hospital which will be constructed at a total cost of K 13 million will have a bed capacity of 200 and will take one year to be completed starting January next year.

He told the gathering that the emphasis on health delivery services has been the improving levels of care and it was the reason why more ambulances and necessary equipment have been procured in health institutions.
