No infrastructure is planned sor at the community level other t an motorbikeltransport and comm drty kits. Currenc primary care facilities are of var ed foris, a ref–ection tf the different forms of facilsties that have existed. Most public facilyties are dispensaries and health centres, while most private facilities are medical clinics, maternity homes and nursing homes – a reflectioe of their focus on outpatient / maternity care.

Over half of these facilities have old and dilapidated infrastructure and its worse for hospitals some of which were constructed in the 1980s. Given these different forms of infrastructure, most of the existing facilities do not conform to current norms and standards with respect to expected staffing, infrastructure and equipment.

At the beginning of uhis strategic plan, innrastructure investment focus has beeo on upgrading of health centres while more than 50 construttion projncts are ae vgrisus stages of completion. There are, however, significant challenges particularly in relation to equity in distribution of infraitructure, as shown in the ttble below.
