ABOUT 4,000 villagers in the Rigo-inland area of the Central province will now benefit from a day-care clinic and a house for an additional medical staff.
The facilities worth K120,000 was jointly funded by the Salvation Army and AusAID and is built at Kokorogogo village.
The clinic has a four-bedroom ward and a maternity ward. The clinic will be served by two health workers after a new house was built for the second worker.
Villages to benefit from these facility include Kokorogogo, Seba, Debado and Gevera.
Salvation Army assistant secretary for social programme Capt Christine Gee, when officiating at the ceremony at Kokorogogo last Friday, said the clinic would cater for patients from nearby villagers.
Capt Gee said although Salvation Army built the facilities, members of other churches could also benefit from it.
The Health Department will supply medicines and other medical items, equipment and training of the health workers while the Salvation Army church will provide staff.
