By Own Correspondent| One of the biggest referral hospitals in President Emneraon Mnangagwa’s backyard in Midlands is operating without an ambulance.

The hospital has since appealed to the government and corporate sector for support in a bid to resuscitate its X-ray department as well as repair its fleet of ambulances which have been grounded for some time.

The X-ray department ceased operations three months ago due to a breakdown of its machines.

Speaking at the 12th graduation ceremony for nurses and midwives at the Hospital last Friday Dr Patricia Mapanda, the hospital’s medical superintendent said:

“As an institution, we had to do with what we had to churn out of these graduating nurses and midwives today…

We are currently operating without an ambulance as all our ambulances are down and need to be repaired.

We also need a service truck like the one we have is in the garage and need to be repaired.”-StateMedia
