Health
The health department is one of the key departments in the district charged with improving the health status of the community.

Poverty is the main underlying cause of poor health in the District. Associated factors are low level of literacy especially among women, high prevalence of communicable and non communicable diseases, inadequate provision and inequitable distribution of health services and other social services e.g. safe water supply and sanitation facilities.
