Invigorating healthcare in Zimbabwe by delivering 3 new District Hospitals and 30 Health Centres in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Child Care.
The first part of the Zimbabwe project is drawing to a successful close with construction of the Health Centre in Runyararo nearing completion. Designed to have a long-lasting benefit in the local community these facilities will save lives from the moment they become operational.
In a recent address during the UN General Assembly President Mnangawa noted that not only are the new Health Centres modernising Zimbabwean health infrastructure, but also the training programmes are contributing to “plug gaps” created in the health sector due to brain drain.
Equipment End User Training at Mataga Health Centre took place on 16th and 17th August. A total of 15 trainees attended and were awarded certificates upon successful completion.
