Previously she was Minister of Health from 2014 to 2015.

As an MP, she served as the Women's Caucus Chair and as the International Relations Chair in the National Assembly. Quotes CCPF is crucial in addressing maternal and newborn health challenges since the initiative addresses issues of limited availability of timely and reliable health information, poor access to and use of health facilities and delays in care seeking which result in a burdened health system. Government was committed to utilising ICT in development as evidenced by the introduction of the initiative by Ministries of Agriculture, Health, and Gender, Children and Social Welfare. With this initiative, one is able to get messages concerning agriculture, health and gender by dialing 321 on Airtel line. We are making progress in utilization of ICTs in development. Nowadays information and communication technologies (ICTs) are indispensable from health service delivery because they are vital in timely message dissemination. I'm hopeful that in future, Nkhotakota will benefit a lot from CCPF by addressing maternal and newborn health challenges and by encouraging women to be using various family planning methods.
