The prevalence of COVID-19 pandemic continues to hinder the freedom of movement and association that the communities had prior to the pandemic. Public health institutions in Zimbabwe are largely dependent on international donors and local community organisations for them to be able to control the spread of Covid-19.
With the outbreak of the fourth wave and the Omicron variant coming from neighbouring South Africa, Bubi district hospital continues to serve the most vulnerable as best it can. It has been supporting marginalised communities some of whom have had to camp in hospital premises for maternity services.
The masks and detergents donated from this fundraiser have been the pillar of support for the hospital. Unfortunately the hospital has had to discharge some patients and reduce admissions in order to protect its’ health staff. Frontline workers in Bubi very much appreciate the help received to date and said they felt safe to assist the patients they can see thanks to Personal Protective Equipment donated.
