Malanje — The provincial governor of Malanje, Marcos Nhunga, today recommended to hospital managers in this city that they exercise greater rigor in the management of medicines and improve patient care in the units.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of 12 new hospital unit managers and government officials, the leader said it is necessary to work towards improving the living conditions of the population, serving the citizen and providing a public service focused on meeting the needs of the communities.
"I don't want to hear the population complaining about the lack of medicines; we want medicines always available to users, because the objective is to achieve quality healthcare throughout the country, despite the challenges that still exist," he argued.
Marcos Nhunga also highlighted the importance of humanizing health services and continuing the grouped purchase of medicines as a strategy to maintain regular stocks in hospitals. He appealed to those taking office to ensure efficient management of hospital supplies, in order to meet the needs of each institution, avoiding supply disruptions.
