Former governor Usko Nghaamwa and businessman Pinehas Nambadi plan to build a health clinic at Omaimbi farm in the Amuteya district. They announced this during King Fillemon Nangolo Shuumbwa's visit to the area on Saturday. The project aims to help local people who must travel far for medical care.
Residents currently travel about seven kilometers to Oshivelo or 80 kilometers to Omuthiya for health services. Nambadi gave land for the clinic, but they need concrete stones and sand to start building. Many sick people die before reaching current clinics, especially children with snakebites who need fast treatment. Workers have already delivered one truck of bricks to begin construction.
King Shuumbwa promised to support the clinic project and asked community members to work together. He also warned people about fake prophets who might cause problems. The king said these people need proper papers to operate in the Ondonga Traditional Authority areas. He told community members to report anyone without the correct permits to local leaders.
