Luanda - The President of the Republic, João Lourenço, left Luanda on Wednesday morning for the province of Zaire, in the north of the country, to learn about the political, economic and social situation in the region.
The Angolan statesman will chair a meeting with the Government of Zaire, in order to make contact with the detailed report on the socio-economic life of the province, to be presented by Governor Adriano Mendes de Carvalho.
The meeting will be attended by ministers who will respond to sectoral concerns that are presented by the local government.
President João Lourenço's working day, of a few hours, ends with a visit to the works of the Zaire Provincial Hospital.
Launched in 2014, the works of the imposing three-storey building suffered a long period of paralysis, resuming in June 2022 and expected to be completed next year.
It will be a differentiated hospital unit, with a capacity for 290 beds, comprising intensive care services for adults, paediatrics and neonatal, haemodialysis, rehabilitation, imaging, operating rooms, among others.
The infrastructure, budgeted at 87 million and 850 thousand dollars, is located on the outskirts of the city of Mbanza Congo and occupies an area of 27 thousand square meters. The company VAMED is responsible for completing the works. ART/DOJ
