Donated WHO motorbikes lie idle for four years

About 100 motorbikes that were donated by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to hospitals have been lying idle for the past four years due to lack of funds to train health workers on how to operate them.

This was revealed last Friday in the National Assembly by Kambuzuma legislator Willias Madzimure (CCC) while contributing to Health budget debate on the Finance Bill in relation to the 2023 national budget. He said government was failing to allocate funds and other resources to health workers, adding that it was also failing to facilitate their training to be able to operate Class 3 vehicles.
