KPHL has invested K10 million to support the completion of structural works on the Cancer Facility, including the foundation for two cancer bunkers. This facility is scheduled to open next month. The success of this project is attributed to the direct involvement of the PMGH management and Board, alongside the oversight provided by an independent Project Manager during construction.
