Confronting The New Health Care Crisis

By: Admin | Date: November 11, 2011 | Categories:

This former “breadbasket” of Africa’s health system has collapsed, due to a rapidly disintegrating economy and the horrific corruption within Zimbabwe’s government. These issues have led to a terrifying chain reaction that has led to a desperate human-rights issue that has been largely ignored.

What Doctors Have to Say

A recent report from Physicians for Human Rights helps paint a picture of the health crisis that is raging through Zimbabwe. The doctors explain that in Zimbabwe the collapse of the health care system is “unprecedented in scale and scope” and that “the maintenance of public health…has abruptly deteriorated.” Physicians for Human Rights also quoted the director of a mission hospital who said “…now there is no intensive care unit in Harare [the capital city]. If we had an intensive care unit…it would be immediately full…As it is, they just die.”
