How many ordinary Zimbabweans can genuinely afford treatment at private hospitals or clinics?
We need well-equipped and functional public referral hospitals like Mpilo, UBH, Masvingo Provincial, and others.
These facilities must have adequate medical equipment, a consistent supply of essential drugs, clean water, and reliable electricity—available every day, all day.
Affordable healthcare should be accessible to even the lowest-earning citizen.
We shouldn’t be celebrating private healthcare facilities that only a privileged few can afford while the majority continue to suffer in under-resourced public hospitals.
