STATE MINISTER PRAISES SELFLESS SPIRIT OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS



Luanda - The Minister of State for Social Affairs, Carolina Cerqueira, on Saturday praised the selfless spirit of health professionals in providing care to Angolans.

According to the State minister, who was speaking to the press at the end of a visit to the David Bernardino Paediatric Hospital, the health professionals' spirit of dedication, patriotism, responsibility and motivation in carrying out life-saving missions is evident every day.

Carolina Cerqueira said that, despite the difficulties imposed by the financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic, the Angolan government was doing everything possible to provide the health units with conditions for humanised care of citizens.

The government, she said, is focusing on building health units around the country, training professionals and creating more staff to respond to the population demand in the health units.

The minister said she was pleased with the working conditions and service at the David Bernardino Paediatric Hospital, saying that it was a clear demonstration of the commitment of its professionals and directors.

On a day dedicated worldwide to the family, the minister Carolina Cerqueira highlighted the need to combat violence against children, with particular emphasis on sexual abuse, exploitation of child labour, psychological violence, as a way of ensuring proper growth.

For the Minister, who considers that it is necessary for the organs of the administration of justice to be tough against offenders, it is necessary that parents and guardians pay more attention, preventing children from living with people with bad intentions.

The date, in the opinion of Carolina Cerqueira, should serve for reflection on the social wellbeing of children and families, and the promotion of moral, civic and patriotic values.

During the visit, Carolina Cerqueira, accompanied by the Minister of Health, Silvia Lutucuta, and by the Secretary of State for the Hospital Area, Leonardo Inocêncio, went through the various parts of the unit, holding talks with patients and their families.
