The lack of water and some hospital services are worrying the community on Inhaca Island. The main health center goes more than two months without drinking water. The health center benefits around 6 thousand inhabitants of the island of Inhaca, in the City of Maputo. The health unit has been operating without water for a long time. The complaint came from hospital users. Another problem that worries users of the aforementioned health unit is the lack of some services such as X-rays and ultrasound. “We don’t have ultrasound services. It’s difficult to travel to the city to access small services. We spend a lot of money because of this. We ask those who are entitled to a solution for these services here at the hospital”, said one of the users. The Management from the hospital explains that the problem arises when there are faults in the water pump and that, at the moment, the problem has been resolved, but not definitively. Due to the lack of some services such as X-ray and ultrasound, the health unit chooses to transfer its patients to other hospitals in the center of Maputo City. The island of Inhaca currently has three health units, this being the largest.Source:O País
