We are about half way to the new year of 2024 and the situation on the ground in terms of the health system in Zimbabwe is completely in shambles. Since last year there has been a outbreak of Cholera in Zimbabwe and this disease has claimed over 400 Zimbabweans and still counting according to Government figures.
One would think why would there be an outbreak of Cholera in Zimbabwe? The answer is simple, it is the fact that the current government ZANU-PF is looting public funds, the health care has completely collapsed due to the government neglecting it, yet Emmerson Mnangagwa is enriching his family and friends instead of leading and improving the country of Zimbabwe.
The 6 hospitals which are still functional in Zimbabwe were built by the colonial government before Zimbabwean’s independence. ZANU-PF have never built a single hospital in its 43 years of running the country! That is why the health care system is disastrous. Zimbabwe is not a poor country at all, it is just mismanaged by Emmerson Mnangagwa and his government( ZANU-PF), I mean right now Zimbabwe has the highest inflation and interest rates in the world, and to make matters worse Zimbabwe has no radiotherapy cancer treatment machine in all its public hospitals.
As for the Cholera matter Zimbabwe don’t have clean drinking running water in urban homes, once again this has been caused by years of public fund lotting and natural resources plunder by ZANU-PF elites.
This failure of providing clean water to the people of Zimbabwe has caused a lot of people to die from Cholera and thyroid. In some instances some citizens would be treated under trees with drips hanging on tree branches. It really pains my heart to see Zimbabweans being subjected to such tragic reality of a corrupt government which has failed to just service the health care system it inherited.
