Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga has met representatives of an Iranian firm that has pledged to supply dialysis machines to hospitals in Zimbabwe to bolster the quality of life for renal patients.
Dr Chiwenga met representatives of Iranian Consortium of Dialysis Group of Companies, a leading manufacturer of dialysis machines and related accessories.
The company will supply the machines in a joint venture that it will enter with the Government of Zimbabwe, through the Ministry of Health and Child Care.
The development is set to boost dialysis services in Zimbabwe.
Dialysis is done to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when kidneys fail to function properly.
