The medical director of the facility also added that Amandi Construction as official contractors of the project are also suppose to substitute containers to temporary replace some of the collapse structures to ensure that the construction does not interrupt with the facility’s core mandate or services it provides to the general public.
“It is part of the plan that Amandy Construction Limited will use containers to create offices and Hubs to temporary replace affected facilities”.
