A STATE-OF-THE-ART isolation ward was Friday officially opened at the Chinhoyi provincial hospital to cater for Covid-19 patients across all demographic groups in the province.
As the second wave of the pandemic continues to ravage the country with over 1 100 fatalities, Mashonaland West has recorded an upsurge in the number of new infections and deaths, and is grappling with the non-availability of well-equipped isolation centres.
Officially commissioning the ward, Mashonaland West provincial minister Mary Mliswa-Chikoka, said she expected the isolation ward would curb preventable Covid-19 deaths as treatment had been brought closer to the people.
