Budgeted at around 1.8 billion kwanzas, the future hospital will have a capacity for 85 beds and services such as an emergency room, laboratories, among others.
"With a capacity for 85 inpatient beds, the future Andulo Municipal Hospital will have several medical services, such as an emergency room, laboratories, consulting rooms, outpatient consultations, blood transfusion, surgery, among others", said the Bié government, in a statement to which VerAngola had access.
The project, according to the note, is being carried out by the company Transfanico (SU) LDA and will last 18 months.
On the occasion, the provincial governor stressed that "the greatest satisfaction of these infrastructures is to guarantee more jobs for young people, the recruitment of more nurses and teachers".
"We want committed nurses, who wear the coat of peace, of hope for better days for the patients who come to the health services", she said, quoted in the note.
Celeste Adolfo also mentioned the "resolution of other problems that still afflict the population, such as energy, water, roads and health posts, and conveyed a message of better days".
"The governor took the opportunity to appeal to the community to continue working to combat hunger and poverty through agriculture", the statement reads.
According to José Cambuta, director of Health in the municipality of Andulo, quoted by Angop, the current municipal hospital, with one hundred beds, is no longer able to meet demand, as it is in an advanced state of deterioration, so the future hospital will relieve the pressure.
In addition to the first stone for the hospital, the first stone was also laid for the construction of a school with 12 classrooms.
The future school is valued at more than 642 million kwanzas, with the contract "awarded to the company San Ya Fishing International LDA".
