HEALTH
The Archdiocese of Lusaka (ADL) covers the whole Lusaka Province namely Lusaka,Chongwe, Rufunsa,Kafue, Chilanga, Lwangwa, Chirundu and Mumbwa Districts . ADL is a non-profit Institution and in addition to its other duties provides care and support to People Living with HIV/AIDS. Provides care and support to Orphans and Vulnerable (OVCs), Promotes Socioeconomic empowerment, advocates for human rights. Furthermore, ADL has three Mission Hospitals namely, Katondwe, Nangoma and St.Luke’s -Mpanshya offering services to the marginalized under strenuous conditions due to dwindling and limited resources. The Government through the Ministry of Health has not been funding the facilities consistently and the situation has worsened with COVID 19 Pandemic. ADL also has two Hospices Namely Our Lady’s -Kalingalinga and Mother of Mercy in Chilanga. They too are providing services under strenuous conditions. Overly, our health facilities face challenges to operate effectively and efficiently. The demand for service delivery is quite overwhelming and they are in constant need of finances to offer services holistically.
