Zimbabwe: ‘Covid-19 a Blessing in Disguise As Govt Forced to Upgrade Hospitals’ – ED
2 hours ago
President Emmerson Mnangagwa says although the Covid-19 pandemic has ravaged the country and globally community, in Zimbabwe it has turned to be a “blessing in disguise”.
He said the pandemic had given his government an opportunity to upgrade abandoned public health facilities across the country.
Government health institutions in Zimbabwe have in recent years deteriorated to alarming levels due to lack of maintenance and equipping them with machinery and drugs.
This saw senior state government and Zanu PF officials and their families including ministers travelling out of the country shunning the neglected and ill-equipped facilities.
