Pamela Shumba
A blood shortage is looming at the country’s hospitals amid reports that the National Blood Services Zimbabwe (NBSZ) has stopped supplying them with blood stocks.
This comes after the NBSZ introduced a pre-payment arrangement this month in a bid to recover more than $1 million it is owed by hospitals countrywide.
NBSZ now demands cash upfront from hospitals before blood can be distributed to health institutions.
In an interview yesterday, NBSZ public affairs manager, Ms Ester Massundah, said they were now demanding payment upfront because most Government hospitals are in arrears.
“We communicated with our customers last year that we would introduce a pre-payment arrangement for health institutions at the beginning of this month because hospitals owe us more than $1 million. About 80 percent of our income comes from these institutions,” said Ms Massundah.Big contingent scares Kaindu
