“So I decided to purchase the new one of that Ambulance for the mobile health clinic because the mobile health clinic is very helpful to my people in this District because the District is challenged when it comes to a health facility. The only referred hospital in this District is the  Bong Mines Hospital which is in Farmah District, and you know that before you enter Bong Mines from Sanoyea District here you will have to go through Kakata, Margibi County because there is no road here to enter Bong Mines,” Rep. Kolleh noted.
