According to him, “We will soon start constructing a perimeter fence around the hospital to enhance security for patients as well as hospital equipment.”

Ntcheu District Health Officer, Dr Mike Chisema; “This is a timely project as it is going to tighten security of the hospital plus as management, we need to appreciate that.”

The project is expected to start in February because according to the minister, the resources for the project which include construction materials are ready.
