Kwanza Norte General Hospital
The inauguration of this hospital represents a significant advance in medical care for the population of Kwanza Norte province. Previously, residents had to travel to other regions of the country to access more complex health services. With the new hospital, the expectation is that the local population will have more specialized treatment and care, reducing the need for referrals to other provinces.
