Katha, 15 March
    

An extended two-storey facility is being built by the Ministry of Health and Sports in the compound of a public hospital in Katha Township, Sagaing Region, and the new structure will house the sick patients.
    

A stake-driving ceremony for construction of the healthcare building was held on 9 February. Regional MP U Nyi Nyi Tun, Chairman of the district management committee U Tint Wai Thine and concerned officials drove the stakes at designated places of the construction site at the ceremony. The facility measuring 120 ft. in length, 56 ft. in width will be built by a private tender winning company at a cost of Ks. 417 million.
    

Once completed, the structure will accommodate the sick patients. The ministry is planning to construct similar facilities and the donors are requested to contribute to the hospital, said Dr. Lar Mar Mee.—Ye Aung (Katha)
