According to a note from the Presidency of the Republic, to which VerAngola had access, in the capital of Huíla, the President of the Republic will reopen the Maternidade Irene Neto, after having been "rehabilitated and equipped with modern means", in a ceremony that will be attended by the Minister of Health, Sílvia Lutucuta, among others.
His agenda also includes carrying out "a visit to the construction work on the Lubango ring road which, once completed, will ease the pressure of road traffic on the Huila capital", adds the note.
