Simba Huchu’ s aunt allegedly had a miscarriage and she is currently admitted at Chiredzi hospital where the health personnel are not attending to her to an extent that the decomposing foetus is coming out in bits and pieces.

Huchu writes to President Emmerson Mnangagwa making an urgent plea for his intervention.

Below is the full text of Huchu’s letter to Zimbabwe’s first citizen.

I enjoyed following the Junior Parliament session on Saturday, it is highly appreciated what your government is doing through re-engagement and fighting corruption.

I would like to bring to your attention some cases happening at our Chiredzi General Hospital female wards section. Pregnant mothers are loosing babies through miscarriages due to negligence.

A certain mother is currently suffering after the child died in the womb and up today its been a week, she has not been attended to. The child is coming out piece by piece and its painful.

Another mother has not been cleaned since last weekend after her child suffered still birth. Nurses do not attend to the pregnant mothers and the doctor is not making any rounds…sometimes I wonder if its sabotage or we no longer have the human resources to attend to these mothers.

It hurts especially when the government is doing all it can to provide renumeration packages to these nurses and doctors for better service.

We have tried to get help from the DHO and he only said we will wait for the Doctor to do his rounds, the nurses on duty in the female ward even went on to say its not their duty but it is the duty of nurses in maternity’s ward. They are not even bothered that a fellow woman or mother is in pain.
