medical services
Bulawayo
Agenda
February 25, 2010
The Daily Agenda,
published from Monday to Friday will provide information on critical
governance and developmental issues. It is our hope that the information
provided will be useful to our constituency of readership, particularly
the leaders at the local level and civil society practitioners,
in informing and shaping their choice of developmental objectives
and initiatives.
Harare
- The Minister of Health, Doctor Henri Madzorera says his
ministry is not aware that hospitals are demanding pay slips as
an assurance that patients can afford to pay for medical services.
Dr. Madzorera said that investigations on the matter are underway.
Residents have said that requirements are not going to be met as
the majority of the public is unemployed and the social welfare
that is supposed to be an alternative for the unemployed is no longer
functional.
Masvingo
- There has been violence looming around the area where
teachers, who were staging a sitting in, have been victimized by
war veterans and headmasters at Zishumbe Primary School. The violence
is said to have spread to other areas such as Buhera with dismissal
of teachers and headmasters in Mberengwa and Uzumbamarangafungwe.
Bulawayo
- Water Resources and Development Minister, Sipepa Nkomo,
has said that SADC ministers will hold their annual conference in
Bulawayo, in May. Minister Nkomo said that the ministers will take
the opportunity to hold a sideline meeting on the Zambezi Water
Course Commission as this will assist to on the negotiations that
he is making with the Zambezi riparian states on the Matabeleland
Zambezi Water Project. Minister Sipepa added that the discussions
that will be made will not be centered on the financing of the project.
