Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals has resumed operating on patients on the waiting list, also known as electives (scheduled surgeries), following a resolution by consultant doctors, which was done on the consideration that theatre supplies and other sundries have improved.

This comes in the wake of extension of a deadline for bidders interested in refurbishing, re-equipping and establishing a super specialist hospital on a public private partnership (PPP) model at the institution to May 3 2019.

The model was also discussed at the doctors’ meeting which concluded that there was need for more information from Government to enable the doctors input meaningfully into the proposed partnership.

Public relations officer for Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals Mr Linos Dhire yesterday confirmed resumption of the electives and commended the doctors for their decision.

He said the hospital management will continue looking into the other issues raised by the doctors.
“We have seen the document (resolution by the doctors) and we are happy with the developments therein,” said Dr Dhire. “Management has also taken note of the issues raised in that document and the action items are going to be pursued immediately. “Efforts will be made to continue improving the situation.”State media
