Own Correspondent|MDC national spokesperson Jacob Mafume has said that his party wished ill Vice President Constantino Chiwenga a speedy recovery, but added that government should invest more in the local health delivery system so that all citizens will benefit.

“It then underscores the need for the nation to invest in health systems as you know we are all human beings; poor health affects everyone, it affects the top of our society, it affects those at the bottom of our society and indeed those are the ones that are affected by our decisions as leaders.

“We need our hospitals to be up to scratch, we cannot visit our hospitals when we want to sweep them when we want to remove dirt, those hospitals need to be equipped to have doctors, they need to have nurses.”

Government officials have admitted that Chiwenga is admitted to an Indian hospital where he is being treated.
