Health ministry lashes out at Machakaire

THE Health and Child Care ministry has lashed out at the Youth Development, Empowerment and Vocational Training minister Tino Machakaire after he exposed the rot at government hospitals in a social media post on Monday this week.

Machakaire called on President Emmerson Mnangagwa to visit public hospitals, which he said had deteriorated to unprecedented levels.

However, in a statement on various social media platforms, the Health and Child Care ministry said the negative remarks were part of a broader pattern of “unwarranted and mischievous attacks”.
