Renovations have commenced at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals following President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s visit to health facilities last month.
As part of checking the progress being made at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, the Minister of Health and Child Care, Dr Douglas Mombeshora and his Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services counterpart, Dr Jenfan Muswere, toured the health facility this afternoon.
Also present at the tour was the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Childcare, Dr Aspect Maunganidze, and the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Mr Nick Mangwana.
Renovations have since begun on a trainee nurses’ residence, Adlam House, and Mbuya Nehanda Maternity Hospital.
Speaking after the tour, Minister Mombeshora said after the renovations, the hospital will become a state-of-the-art facility.
Renovations are ongoing at Adlam House, which accommodates student nurses. There was a lot of damage to the infrastructure, from the roof, ceiling, floors, sewer system, to the water system.
“The contractor started with the first block and we hope that by the beginning of September, that block will be done.
“We hope to come up with a new look hospital – modern and comparable with any other hospital in the world,” said Minister Mombeshora.
