A new health centre, named the Decade of Victory Health Centre, has been inaugurated in Massingir district, Gaza Province, at a cost of 11.7 million meticais. This facility will serve over 3,000 residents from seven communities, significantly improving access to healthcare services.
During the inauguration, Gaza Governor Alfeu Cuna emphasised the government’s commitment to strengthen measures against corruption, medicine theft, and extortion within health facilities. He condemned the misuse of drugs and illegal fee collection, advocating for enhanced oversight and accountability for healthcare professionals involved in such practices.
The establishment of the health centre responds to the pressing need for medical services in the area, where residents previously travelled approximately 40 kilometres to reach the district headquarters for healthcare. The facility features five consultation rooms, including a maternity unit, thereby addressing critical healthcare gaps in the region.
Despite this advancement in healthcare infrastructure, local communities have raised concerns regarding ongoing challenges, particularly the lack of access to potable water, which remains a significant issue requiring urgent attention from authorities.
