To the Regional Delegate of Public Health for the North West, Dr Ambe Lionel, this campaign is in line with the objectives of the Ministry of Public Health to deliver quality health care to the population at an affordable rate.

Hundreds of persons were already on standby to begin the consultation process which was a big relief to the Divisional officer for Santa.

He emphasized the need for peace in development.

"It is very important that we maintain and sustain peace in our communities. In this way, such campaigns can be organized regularly and the population will benefit." He said.
