Luanda — Luanda will get this month five new health centres under a rehabilitation programme of the local government to spread the sanitary network to the surroundings of the capital city, meant to improve medical assistance, ANGOP has learnt.

The provincial director of public works, Torres Bunga, said the health centres will be open in Cazenga, Sambizanga, Cacuaco and Viana districts, whereas veterinary posts are to be open in Sambizanga, Cacuaco and Ingombota.

Torres Bunga said the health centres were all of them equipped by the Luanda provincial government and will have all the necessary services that help people avoid walking long distances seeking for medical assistance.

The Angolan government started in 2007 the rehabilitation of 48 health centres in the country's capital city, and at the moment 33 of them are already set for work.
