KALUMBILA’S MUKUMBI MINI-HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTION HITS FINAL STAGE.

The Lumwana Community Trust Coordinator in Kalumbila District of Northwestern Province Luka Mayamba says the construction works at Mukumbi Mini-Hospital which started in 2024 has reached its final stage.

Mr Mayamba said the Mukumbi mini-hospital which is being constructed through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) is expected to be fully operational between April and May this year 2026.

Speaking during a site inspection, Lumwana Community Trust Coordinator Luka Mayamba said remaining works include a doctor’s house, refurbished wards, a maternity annex and three nurses houses.

He noted that although the main structure was built in 2023, it had not yet been operationalised due to ongoing additional works such as admission ward and other support infrastructure.

Once operational, the Mukumbi Mini-Hospital is expected to transform healthcare delivery in Chief Mukumbi’s area and surrounding communities, including Kalengelenge, Mangala, Kyanika, Kiyombo and Lubinga.

Meanwhile, the caretaker of Mukumbi Royal Establishment, Senior Chief Mukumbi, appealed to the government to deploy sufficient medical staff once the Mukumbi Mini-Hospital is completed, ensuring its full operational capacity.
