THE Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Bulawayo Metropolitan Province, Judith Ncube, is touring major health facilities in the city to assess ongoing works and inspect projects being implemented at the institutions.
The facilities on her itinerary include Mpilo Central Hospital, United Bulawayo Hospitals (UBH) and Ekusileni Medical Centre.
The tour comes as Mpilo Central Hospital undergoes major renovations under the Presidential Hospital Rehabilitation Programme, spearheaded by President Mnangagwa.
Minister Ncube expressed satisfaction with the work carried out at Mpilo, saying the institution now resembles world-class facilities.
She also visited the hospital’s Radiation Therapy Centre, where she viewed two new cancer treatment machines that are expected to be commissioned soon.
Once operational, the machines are expected to benefit cancer patients from across the southern region and the rest of the country.
