Upgrade health system: Experts

BY VANESSA GONYE/SILAS NKALA
HEALTH experts have urged government to upgrade the country’s health systems following reports by South African officials in Musina district that there had been a spike in Zimbabweans seeking medical services at clinics in the neighbouring country.

A report by the International Organisation for Migration said the influx of Zimbabweans into South Africa’s health centres was compromising that country’s health delivery targets.

Zimbabwe Professional Nurses Union president Robert Chiduku said Zimbabwe did not have enough facilities to perform certain surgical procedures, which forces citizens to go to South Africa and India for medical assistance.
