Lusaka------ The Ministry of Health has dismissed allegations that there is a shortage of Condoms in North Western Province saying there were plenty of them.
Ministry of Health Spokesperson Dr. Kamoto Mbewe disclosed that there were currently 15, 000 condoms at the District Health Management Office in Solwezi.
Dr. Mbewe told ZANIS in Lusaka on Thursday that sometimes the retailers felt lazy to go the District Health Management Office to make an order for the product hence reports that there was a shortage.
Dr. Mbewe said sometimes retailers run out of condoms but that they were always in stock at DHMO.
He explained that if there was a shortage of condoms in North Western Province the problem would have been countrywide.
He advised retailers to be going to DHMO every time they run out of condoms instead of giving a wrong impression to the people.
Movement for Multi Party Democracy (MMD) Patron Sikota Wina is quoted as having said that there was a shortage of condoms in North Western Province. |
