Zim’s health care one of best in Sadc

Minister of Health and Child Welfare Henry Madzorera has said.
Speaking at the launch of the National Aids Council website in Harare recently, Minister Madzorera said few countries in Africa have Aids Councils and Sadc made reference to Zimbabwe as the leader.
“The National Aids Council is very important to us as a nation in the fight against HIV/Aids. Very few countries have a national Aids fund and this adds value to our NAC.”
Minister Madzorera applauded NAC for coming up with a user friendly website, adding the organisation had taken the initiative in information dissemination.
“Information dissemination is very important in the fight against HIV and Aids as people need to reflect where we were in the beginning and where we are at the moment.
“We need to know our success and challenges as a nation. There is power in information as those who take heed of it survive hence the need to ensure that the website is widely marketed for people to be aware of it,” he said.
The Minister said NAC should not only rely on the website as their main point of information dissemination, but prioritise traditional means such as dramas and the print.
“There is need to enhance other outlets of information dissemination such as dramas and print as these are easily accessible and are familiar to others who cannot access the Internet.
“For credibility and accountability, consider also putting up the accounts category in your website as people need to know how you manage resources availed to the organisation,” he said.
The website, which has a home page that is updated periodically, containes a public debate forum, blog news among others was designed by a volunteer from America, Mr Tzviatko Chiderov of a British Voluntary Services Overseas organisation.
