Muliansolo Rural Mission Health Centre

Zambia Muliansolo Rural Mission Health Centre

Muliansolo Rural Health Centre is situated to the north of Isoka near to the Tanzania border 74 k from the nearest major town of Chinsali and it is 4hours drive to the nearest referral hospital in the dry season and inaccessible in the rainy season.

There are no protected water sources and all water comes from bore holes and there is only solar powered electricity which is grossly inadequate for the needs of the clinic and the neighbouring convent and school. The taste is not good and the water makes the utensils brown and rusty. There are no telephone lines and electricity but they communicate using radio network.


The health Centre has 22 beds in three wards and 10 cot beds and is visited by a doctor on a very infrequent basis. Sister Winfridah Mulenga and her small staff are very committed and do the best that they can with their limited resources to look after the 21,000 in their catchment area. The centre has 28 villages with the furthest village 68km away. The total number of households served is 5,748. They have an outreach service which visits 9 villages once a month to do this the staff walk for about 20k to the nearest of these outreach posts.
