Speaking after the inspection, Dr Aceng said it was amazing to witness the ongoing work to realign the hospital so that its systems can function more efficiently.
"I want to congratulate the Hospital Director together with the entire hospital staff for this good work that has been done. It has also given visibility to the infrastructure along the former Police Road and strengthened the outlook of the Regional Referral Hospital," said Dr Aceng.
According to Hon. Dr Jane Ruth Aceng, who previously served the hospital as Medical Superintendent, the vision is to transform LRRH into a specialised referral facility.
She also pledged to use her new position as Government Chief Whip to continue lobbying for more development at the hospital and in other sectors.
