The Kasese Resident District Commissioner, Lt. Joe Walunsimbi has urged health workers who are not able to effectively deliver healthcare services to seek early retirement before they are forcefully sacked from civil service.
The RDC sounded the advice yesterday while officiating at the closure of a two -day Bi-Annual Performance Review Meeting of all health facilities across the district that was held at Rwenzori International Hotel in Kasese town.
The review meeting targeting health in-charges of Health Centre IIs, IIIs, IVs, hospitals and development partners of the district was aimed at looking at HIV/AIDs access and positivity rates, family planning utilization, malarial prevalence and latrine coverage among others.
Lt. Walunsimbi told the participants that his office was awash with information that some health workers absent themselves from duty, arguing that they were posted to the health facilities located in the hard to reach areas while others attend to their personal businesses.

In his remarks, Mr. Girivazio Monday Bwambale, the Kasese District Secretary for Social Services, indicated that despite some challenges being faced in the health sector, government is committed towards rectifying them. More will come in our subsequent news broadcast. END.
