Via NBC News - Jason Gima Wuri

Central Province will soon have a new Provincial Hospital built during this term of parliament.

This was confirmed by Heath and HIV/AIDS Minster Elias Kapavore in Parliament today.

He says the government will revisit a National Executive Council decision number 352 of 2014 which he is aware of, to construct a 250-bed hospital for the people of Central Province at Bautama.

Responding to questions from Governor Robert Agarobe, Minister Kapavore says Central has over 230,000 people and this population demands that the province must have a provincial hospital.
