PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa Friday hailed private sector participation in the establishment and rehabilitation of public health delivery infrastructure amid a tough economic environment worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak.
Mnangagwa was officially opening a United Bulawayo Hospitals Orthopaedic Centre and a Covid-19 Isolation Centre in the country’s second capital.
He said the Orthopaedic Centre was a result of Public Private Partnership (PPP) between the country’s health ministry, Zimbabwe Orthopaedic Trust as well as Cure International.
The national leader expressed optimism the facility was going to improve access to specialist surgery and corrective care for children, among other health challenges.

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa Friday signed the Second Amendment to the Constitution of Zimbabwe into law amid strong objections from the opposition and civil society organisations with lawyers and the MDC Alliance threatening “a floodgate of litigation”.
Political analysts say Mnangagwa rushed into signing the Bill to accommodate Chief Justice Luke Malaba whose term was expected to expire on May 15 when he reaches 70.
This would have made it unfit for him to hold the office according to the 2013 Constitution.
The gazetted Amendment Act also removes the selection of vice-presidents as presidential running mates, the number of non-elected MPs in Cabinet, retention of the specially elected extra women members of the National Assembly for another 10 years, the addition of 10 youth MPs, terms of office of judges, and the appointment of the Chief Secretary to the Office of the President and Cabinet.
