Gutu Rural District Council (RDC) commissioned the recently completed Muchekayaora Clinic and two staff houses easing travelling distance people were travelling to access health services. The Clinic which is in ward 5, Gutu East Constituency under Chief Munyikwa was officially opened on July 11 by Director of Finance Administration and Human Resources in the Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC) Jambo Nyamhuri.
The clinic was built using Constituency Development Funds (CDF) and Devolution Funds from Gutu RDC in order to reduce longer traveling distances to the clinics. Speaking at the commissioning, Gutu RDC Chief Executive Officer Alexander Mutembwa said that they decided to construct the clinic after calls by people in the area through the outgoing Member of Parliament Berita Chikwama.
“We decided to construct this clinic here following a request that was made by honourable Chikwama. She came to our office asking for a clinic in her Constituency saying we are only concentrating with other areas neglecting remote areas,”
“We then decided to construct the clinic so that we improve our health system and reduce the distance that people were travelling to the nearest health facility which is around 25 kilometers so that people have easy access of health services,” Said Mutembwa.
