Sewer rehabilitation project

On the 26th of June the management of SFH signed a contract with MUSP Works Limited Zambia, the contractor that was selected to undertake the rehabilitation part of the sewer system at the hospital. The works commenced in July. The works will include a construction of a septic tank, soak-away and construction of a 300meters septic pipe line.

The hospital has been using septic tanks and soak-away but with the increase in population of staff and patients, this system is no longer sustainable.
This of course is a small project which contribute to the improvement of the disposal of sewer effluent thereby preventing stagnation and flooding. This will to the certain extent mitigate water pollution, maintain environmental healthiness and hydrological balance in a short term. But the hospital requires a total overhaul of the sewer system in a long term.

The Medical Support Group from the Netherlands will fund this 5,600 Euro worth project. These major works will be supervised by SFH project manager, Mr. Chungu Mutale.
