Sadness engulfed Rosina Mujakachi after visiting her pregnant sister battling a malaria attack at Karoi District Hospital two weeks ago.

It is reported that at least five people died this month at the medical institution when malaria cases peaked in the rural communities, including a malaria hotspot, Kazangarare in Hurungwe North constituency.
