In a controversial move that has drawn widespread criticism, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government has been accused of prioritizing the purchase of trucks for Zanu-PF youths while neglecting essential medical supplies for hospitals in Zimbabwe.
Concern about the state of healthcare has intensified following a recent incident where a South African citizen was airlifted to Limpopo for urgent medical treatment, highlighting the dire conditions that many patients face in Zimbabwean hospitals.
Observers point to this situation as symptomatic of a larger crisis plaguing the country’s healthcare system, often described as a “death trap” due to its lack of basic necessities, such as painkillers and other crucial medical supplies.
