DEPUTY Minister of Health and Child Care Cde Sleiman Kwidini met with the Minister of Health of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Albertovich Murashko, in Moscow on Wednesday where key issues on health skills exchange, equipment support and local manufacturing were discussed.
The meeting in Moscow, follows a tour of Pharmasyntez-Nord Group in St Petersburg, held on the sidelines of Vice President Kembo Mohadi’s working visit to Russia.
The visit builds on economic diplomatic gains brokered by President Mnangagwa and consolidates Zimbabwe-Russia relations as all-weather friends.
Cde Kwidini said the core of the talks with the Russian Ministry of Health was knowledge transfer.
“The most thing, which was discussed was knowledge exchange. We don’t want the situation as a country to be to keep on buying, buying without having us producing local,” he said.
