We walk long distance for two and half hours to access health services in Mataba of Macuba sector yet there is health post closer to our homes. It is so saddening,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nMacuba residents appeal for support so that the health post can be operational from morning hours.   <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can understand how serious the problem is because you can fall sick overnight and find no one at the health post in the morning.  We need advocacy so that nurses can be present at work early every day to access health services closer to our homes. That is why the Government built the health post,\u201d said Tuyishime Vestine. <\/p>\n<p>The vice mayor for social affairs in Nyamasheke district, Mukamana Claudette has said that they are seeking a durable solution.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe health post is no longer offering goods services as before.  We are going to engage with the management of nearby health center so that the health post can be operation every day to facilitate access to health services,\u201d she said.  <\/p>\n<p>The Government of Rwanda targets universal easy access to health services by 2024 whereby every cell will have own health post.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-37687 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/c19-3jpg-e77e777-891ac.jpg\" alt=\"The Government of Rwanda targets universal easy access to health services by 2024 whereby every cell will have own health post.  \" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Residents of Susa cell, Kanjongo sector of Nyamasheke district express frustrations over long walks to access health services in far distant health facilities. } <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-42720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42720\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42720"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=42720"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=42720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
