Member of Parliament for Kabwata constituency , Given Lubinda says government is building clinics within communities because people deserve health facilities closer to their homes.
Mr Lubinda who is also Minister of Justice said government has built a clinic in the area so as to decongest the Chilenge level one hospital.
Mr Lubinda said this in Lusaka today when he commissioned the over K927 thousand Michael Chilufya Sata clinic built in his constituency.
“We built this facility for ourselves, we built this facility because the people in this area deserve a facility close to their home,” Mr Lubinda said.
Mr Lubinda noted that the newly built hospital is meant to decongest the Chilenje level one hospital as the hospital is only supposed to be accessed through referrals from primary health care centers.
“As all of you are aware, Chilenje only has one hospital which is only supposed to be accessed through referrals,” he said.
He also commended the Chilenge ward 8 civic leader, Patrick Mwape and the residents of Rock field for protecting the clinic land from illegal encroachment.
Speaking at the same event, Chilenje ward 8 councilor, Patrick Mwape said the clinic is of great significance to the residents of Chilenje ward 8 as the population of Chalala has increased in the last few years thereby causing congestion at Chilenje level one hospital.
“The clinic will provide primary care services which will make room for the level one hospital to provide secondary health care services which in turn ensure timely response,” the civic leader added.
Meanwhile, Lusaka Province Acting Health Director, Sophia Msiska has urged residents to guard the facility well and refrain from vandalism.
Dr Msiska commended government for remaining committed to achieving their goal to provide universal health coverage to all Zambians without leaving anyone behind by prioritizing and building a health facility.
“I congratulate area member of parliament, the councillor and the city council for prioritizing and building this wonderful health facility,” she said.
And Patriotic front Kabwata constituency Chairperson, Travor Ngandu took the opportunity to thank honorable given Lubinda for his hard work he exhibited as area member of parliament for Kabwata for 20 year.
Mr Ngandu expressed pleasure that Kabwata is one of the well-developed constituencies in the country due to the dedication and hard work of its area member of parliament.
You great man given . You have given so much to kabwata and to this country. You are my favourite zayelo. On top of that you have decided to give the youth a chance to contest under your seat. A man of integrity you are. Viva given.

Too late for PF to win Kabwata! Aleisa HH Aleisa.
We are PF members who have decided to vote for UPND, becuase PF ministers and MPS don’t care about us. The lie at dawn, lie in the morning, lie in the afternoon and lie in the night and lie while asleep. Honestly can we continue with PF. IF Zambians give PF a vote we are gone. So will support UPND.
The subject is “THE CLINIC” that was commissioned and we can’t be treated to pictures of the clinic that we see and have an idea of the “beautiful” beneficial edifice but instead we have to admire the outgoing member of parliament! When will these reporters/informers ever learn that pictures tell stories better than the English they use in their reporting?
On the Copperbelt a massive multi million Kwacha structure is named after a person that has done so little because of patronage while the King Cobra is relegated to a mere toll whose cost was highly inflated. What a way to dishonour a gallant servant of the people
REPORTING ON LT IS RUBBISH @1.
LETS HOPE LT GOES WHEN PF GOES IN AUGUST
GOOD RIDDANCE TO LUBINDA AND GOOD RIDDANCE TO THE TR000L
I remember that earlier people used to walk for miles to get the health facilities. But, now we see the clinics nearby.
Getting access to health facilities is very much important and it is a basic right of every individual. We are grateful to our administration.
It feels sad that many people in the past had lost their loved ones just because they fail to get medical attention on time. But not anymore. President Lungu is there to take care of everyone
So glad to know that the health sector of this nation is improving. Slowly, health clinics, equipment, advanced machinery, screening centers, medicines, and so on are building in Zambia under the government of President Lungu!
Let haters and criticizer say whatever they want but we know the true value of President Lungu and his development projects like hospitals, schools, access to clean drinking water, etc.
Health clinics are upgrading to level one hospitals!!! This senior will be in every constituency.
And fool supporters of HH will say that PF is doing this for votes. As if all the development will vanish once the election gets over. ???
We must appreciate President Lungu’s initiative for continuous providing of several facilities for Zambians. #VoteForECL
More and more development is waiting ahead! We must show our endless support to ECL!
The people are living in a ‘Health Zambia.’ We see our President fulfilling all the promises.

Michael Chilufya Sata will turn in his grave once he has heard that a pinkie little health center was called after him
Given Lubinda has done the honourable thing not to recontest his seat and given way Danny Yenga (Yengatec) to continue where he has left. When I compare the Kabwata of 1990’s today the area has developed so much in terms of schools, road infrastructure, shopping malls, roads and residential housing units and power sub stations. Who ever is going to elected on 12/08/21 has got a mountain to climb to fit into Given Lubinda’s shoes. I say Mwabombeni MP, Councilors and other community leaders. God bless you all.
