Given these challenges, I earnestly request your support and intervention in allocating additional medical staff”, the letter of Paul reads.

The provision of adequate medical personnel will not only enhance the quality of healthcare but also ensure timely and comprehensive medical attention for our residents. Furthermore, it will significantly contribute to alleviating the burden currently faced by our existing healthcare professionals. I am confident that your esteemed office recognizes the critical importance of accessible and quality healthcare for the well-being of our citizens. Your support in addressing this pressing issue will undoubtedly have a profound and positive impact on the lives of the people in our constituency”, the letter reads.
