Why it matters
Improving rural healthcare infrastructure is critical for emergency medical services and public safety in regions with high traffic volume.
ARUSHA: AGRICULTURE Minister Daniel Chongolo has pledged to spearhead efforts to secure an X-ray machine for Lowassa Sepeko Health Centre in Monduli District, saying the equipment will strengthen emergency medical services for residents, travellers and tourists using the Arusha–Dodoma highway.
The highway also serves as a key gateway to the Ngorongoro and Serengeti national parks through Karatu, making the health centre strategically important for emergency response.
Mr Chongolo made the commitment on Thursday while inspecting and laying the foundation stone for the newly constructed health centre, built at a cost of about 358.5m/-. The project was financed by the Government, Monduli District Council's own-source revenue, residents and development partners.
He also directed the National Irrigation Commission to drill a borehole at the facility within one month to ensure a reliable water supply.
