The visit exposed the critical state of public hospitals, where nurses work under extreme conditions and patients suffer due to a lack of medicine, equipment and proper care. Mnangagwa this week visited Parirenyatwa and Sally Mugabe hospitals following growing public outcry and repeated calls from Zina, whose president, Enock Dongo, has been warning of a deepening crisis in the country’s health sector. The visit also came after Youth minister, Tino Machakaire, urged Mnangagwa to visit public hospitals and see the deteriorating state of affairs. Mnangagwa's visit was made without Health minister Douglas Mombeshora. For months, Zina has been speaking out about the severe shortages of medicines, lack of essential equipment, collapsing infrastructure and the dire working conditions that have pushed the country’s health system to the edge. Dongo said neglect by the government has plunged hospitals into disrepair, leaving citizens to pay the price through unnecessary suffering and avoidable deaths. "Public hospitals have no medication. Patients are told to buy their drugs or supplies — things that should be readily available. People are dying from diseases that are easily treatable. These are not deaths due to lack of medical knowledge or skill — but deaths caused simply by the absence of basic medication, equipment and resources," Dongo said in a statement. Newsday
