Emmerson Mmangagwa’s wife, Auxillia, has pushed the government to give Natpharm a one-week ultimatum to disburse medicine to health institutions across the country.

The development has seen the Health and Child Care Minister Obadiah Moyo saying failure to do so, heads would roll.

Minister Moyo said: “I am giving you one week to clear all those boxes that are here.

“You have to make sure that all those stocks move to districts, laboratories, clinics. We cannot have excuses.

“So it is up to you to come up with a system in place that takes care of the movement of the products.”

During Auxillia’s earlier visit last week, Natpharm managing director, Mrs. Florah Sifeku said they distribute medicine that would have been ordered.

Speaking on medicine in stock, she said some laboratories had already ordered them but were not able to immediately take them up due to the absence of other consumables and equipment.- state media
