The Zambian government has budgetted for "hospital mobile units" for 13 days/month during the period April to December 2011. To anyone outside Zambia this might sound like a great initiative but I have my doubts whether this is the best way to spend 2.4 billion ZMK (bout 4 mil EUR) per province. Would it not have been better to invest in improving existing facilities that can be used by everyone also after December 2011 or is there no need for Health care after the elections? For the problem of people living in very remote areas maybe an extra ambulance could be allocated on a district level?
