Prosper Ndlovu in MOSCOW, Russia
VICE President Kembo Mohadi on Tuesday led a delegation that included Deputy Minister of Health and Child Care, Sleiman Kwidini, and technical staffers on a tour of a high-tech medical imaging centre in Moscow, Russia.
The delegation observed how Russia uses centralised radiology and digital systems for remote diagnosis.
The visit comes as Zimbabwe seeks technology transfer to strengthen its own system already being rolled out through clinics.
The visit is part of VP Mohadi’s working visit to Russia to operationalise health cooperation agreements, building on Monday’s tour of a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in St Petersburg.
Zimbabwe is modernising its health system with focus on scaling up telemedicine to improve access to medical treatment in remote areas and hopes are high that collaboration with Russia will assist Zimbabwe accelerate gains made and bridge specialist health access gaps across the country.
