Patients admitted at Kwekwe General Hospital are starving as the health facility is reportedly failing to provide food to its inmates on a daily basis.

This was revealed by Kwekwe General Hospital medical superintendent Dr Patricia Mapanda during a drought relief meeting held at the District Administrator’s office in the Midlands town.

Mapanda said patients at the government health institution would sometimes go for 2 to 3 days without food adding that the situation has been compounded by the imminent drought confronting the troubled Southern African country.

She called for immediate government intervention while saying the worst hit inmates were those from the rural areas.

“We are seeking for immediate intervention from government institutions such as The Grain Marketing Board (GMB), Social Welfare and Agritex.

“More food relief programmes are needed for the hospital to be able to cater for our inmates,” she said.

Mapanda said the situation has been complicated by government’s failure to supply food to the hospital.

“We used to get help from GMB and Agritex previously for our patients at the institution but that has ceased this year,” she added.

Worst hit by the situation, she said, are patients from rural settlements whose relatives are too poor to provide them with supplementary foods.

“We receive various inmates who are coming from different communities some of which are hunger stricken such that they are failing even to get a meal for a day from their relatives,” she said.

“Most of these inmates who are failing to get food while under medical attention in our hospital are coming from the rural communities of Kwekwe were hunger has visited most of the families because of the drought situation.”

Mapanda also called for assistance from the corporate world.

“We are appealing to the District Administrator to urge the business community to sympathise with us… ” she said.

When a government fails to plan they eventually planned to fail,such as APC government

I am sure you don’t know the history of Zimbabwe’s economy because if you do then you will know that was where PDP was driving us to with time . You don’t know what a depleted reserve or poor balance of receipt would have done to this country’s economy

Africans are still modern slaves, the difference between a slave and master is not skin color but the level of knowledge both have and what they can build with it.
In 2019, some African countries still don't have access to electricity and good roads, this is already slavery

Keep prophesising doom, but remember when it comes even if you and your immediate family are safe it will
Still get to your extended families who aren’t ‘zombie’. The world will crumble tomorrow isn’t a one man threat .

They should enter the market and buy more now

Exactly what happens when continue blaming others for ur failures

Like zimbabwe, like Nigeria

Why are we attacking Zimbabwe? This is a country that has been under severe sanctions from the West, yet they continued to feed anybody admitted into government hospitals and schools.

Do your own government feed patients in their own ramshackle hospitals? Forget the watery foods served in some primary schools.

Go to Harare and see beauty and decency of a cosmopolitan city despite their problems. You see beauty, order and discipline unlike our own dear Lagos, the most expensive ghetto in the world with open drainages and gutters, dominated by fiercely and crude looking humans, ready to on leach mayhem on slightest provocation.

You will never know the extent our politicians have failed us until you step your feet outside the shores of this country.

You may not even need to go far, just get to any southern African countries, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe or even Ivory Coast.

Also what happens when incompetent politicians take advantage of high no. of poor people, just as de did in de Northern part of Nigeria. U can't give what u don't have. Simple.

Their hospital even gives free food if it's in Nigeria someone would have looted the money meant for such and still be an active member of the ruling party without probe

I don't think Africans were ready when they said they wanted the white to leave them alone.the leaders all smell of greed.all they they do is take and take .nobody puts in as much as they take .

Providing food for her patients to me is really human, this is way to go.
