Reports indicate that the Clinical Director of Parirenyatwa, Dr Madziva, who resigned on Monday from both Parirenyatwa and Government Service is still required to come for a hearing on why he didn’t meet the Health Minister Obadiah Moyo when he visited the hospital.

Dr Madziva was reportedly in surgery operating a patient during the time of Minister Moyo’s visit.

A letter written to Dr Madziva by Acting Secretary for Health and Child Care, Dr G. Mhlanga reads in part:

You were not available at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals on the 29th of March 2019 during the Ministerial visit whilst you were officially acting Chief Executive Officer.
