In fulfilment of the last campaign promise, Minister of Water and Sanitation, Abida Sidik Mia who is also legislator for Chikwawa Nkombedzi, Abida Sidik Mia has officially handed over another health facility, Saopa Under Five Clinic.
In her speech during the colourful ceremony, Mia said she decided to embark on the community demanded project over concerns of increased maternal fatalities in the area.
