To respond to the needs of the people in this locality, the referred organisation has equipped the centre with diagnosis machines, as well as other necessary materials, and 19 health technicians that will secure the medical assistance.
Isaias Cambissa has expressed his concern about the health situation in Cassumbi, which in his opinion is problematic,because there has been an increase in the rate of diseases such as malaria, respiratory diseases and acute diarrhoea, as well as intestinal problems.
He appealed to other organisations to intervene in other distant localities of this province, mainly in the health sector, so as to reduce the death rate, mainly in children.
