As the wise bird has made a promise to the people of Sierra Leone to get the correct version of the daily happenings in the country in order to avoid speculations, and so it is upholding this sacred principle.
Bra Parrot will never stop turning the pages of the Audit Report of 2022 to get more info in order to be able to educate and inform the people accurately.
The wise bird was very quick to turn to page 283 of the Audit Report, and saw a heading captioned:
DISTRICT HEALTH MANAGEMENT TEAM, KAILAHUN-2022, with a sub-heading captioned as, Mission and Operations of the District Health Management team, not effective.
The wise bird noticed from the report that quarterly drugs were not received on time from the central medical store, and as a result, the PHUs ran out of essential drugs.
The report further stated that there are inadequate functional delivery kits and delivery beds in most of the PHUs.
The wise bird further noticed from the report that non-availability of reagents/test kits to screen for some essential medical or obstetric conditions at PHU levels.
According to the report, stock ran out of non-consumables like providon, gauze, and adhesive gloves.
On the same page, the wise bird noticed that medical equipment such as BP machines scales, and salter seals, thermometer pulse oximeter, glucometer and strips, drip stands and IPC materials were unavailable at the PHUs.
The report went further to say that delay in accessing PHUs and lack of ambulances to escort pregnant women to referral hospitals resulted in high maternal mortality rates.
However, the wise bird is of the view that, if the government of SLPP will neglect a place like Kailahun, what else will the government not do.
Kailahun that everyone knows is one of the strongholds of the present government and so this government needs not turn its back against these people.
The wise bird is of the opinion that the same goes to most if not all the hospitals in the country.
The brave bird is not making a case for the Kailahun people, the wise bird is just thinking aloud.
The fearless, patriotic and uncompromising bird always calls things by their correct names.
Everybody is of the view that Bo, Kenema, Moyamba, Kailahun and Bonthe to name but a few are on the top list of the President in terms of development.
But from the look of things, it is just the same old story of development coming tomorrow to the people by a twinkle of an eye.
People say government is about continuity but is this working in Sierra Leone?
