Members of the parliament of Pyithu Hluttaw raised eight questions including upgrading infrastructures of the health sector and sports.
MP U Aye Naing of Dagon Myothit (South) constituency asked whether authorities have a plan to take back the sports ground in the township from the Myanmar Football Federation and Zeyar Shwe Myay soccer club.
In response to the question, Union Minister for Health and Sports Dr Myint Htwe said currently, the ministry has no plan yet to take it back, saying that the ministry has leased 24 sports grounds, including the grounds in Dagon Myothit (South) Township, to the Myanmar Football Federation.
The Myanmar National League for women is scheduled to be held at the sports ground in Dagon Myothit (South) Township, he added.
Regarding a question on upgrading a health clinic in Anauk Kan Phyu Village in Seikpyu Township raised by MP U Aung Thaik, Union Minister Dr Myint Htwwe pledged to upgrade the rural health clinic in the 2017-2018 fiscal years, expecting that the health facility would help to extend medical coverage to 16 nearby villages including Anauk Kan Phyu Village.
According to the clarification of the union minister at the parliamentary meeting yesterday, the Ministry of Sports and Health would seek budget allocations in the coming fiscal year for renovation of the Honan Station Hospital and construction of staff quarters for the staff of the station hospital in Maukme Township.
