HEALTH MINISTRY TO DISTRIBUTE 50 AMBULANCES

Mozambique's Minister of Health, Alexandre Manguele, announced on Monday that the government is to distribute 50 new ambulances across the country.The minister, who is on a working visit to the northern province of Cabo Delgado, said that the ambulances will be fitted with speed limiting devices set at a maximum of 90 kilometres per hour.According to Manguele, studies carried by the Ministry have shown that excessive speed was the major cause of road accidents involving ambulances.Manguele also urged the management of health units to organise monthly meetings with local citizens to assess the performance of the health sector in each region.These meetings, explained Manguele, should be used to critically examine the provision of health services and as a platform for people to praise good performance and denounce misconduct.
