Terrence Mawawa| Health and Child Care Minister Obadiah Moyo has ordered  pharmaceutical manufacturers and retailers to
accept all forms of payments including the bond notes and RTGS.

Moyo said he was concerned that some pharmacies were demanding United States dollars yet the Reserve
Bank of Zimbabwe was supplying foreign currency to the pharmaceutical industry. Speaking to
263Chat, Moyo said “:RBZ has been extremely useful and helpful in releasing cash to wholesalers and manufacturers and we expect them to accept other forms of payment such as Bond Notes and RTGS, as a result of the injection of foreign currency.

We have heard a lot of people crying because they are being asked to make payments in USD.

Retailers and wholesalers should not to sell drugs in USD as the currency is not easily available in Zimbabwe, they should rethink positively for the sake of the chronic patients who are in dire need of medication.”
