FORUM for Democracy and Development (FDD) president Edith Nawakwi has called on Government to build hospitals exclusively for women.
“We need a hospital for women’s issues only instead of sharing hospital beds and wards between male and female patients,” she said.
Ms Nawakwi was speaking on Sky FM radio, when commenting on the 2015 budget and state of the economy.
“We cannot continue to allow our mothers to deliver babies on the floor after 50 years of independence because we do not have enough maternity facilities, “she said.
Ms Nawakwi said government should consider putting up more health infrastructure to carter for women and children.

I think what is needed is distinct male, female and children’s wards in areas where they may not exist. Men also need health care just as much as women do, in fact I would advocate the introduction of men’s clinics especially for for sexual and reproductive health to cut down on the thousands of pamphlets we see promoting traditional medicine for “manhood” issues.
