Members of the Parliament of Zimbabwe have raised concern over the state of health services in Binga District, questioning delays in upgrading key facilities.
Binga South MP, Fanuel Cumanzala asked the Minister of Health and Child Care:
“Whether there are any plans to rehabilitate Binga District Hospital to make it suitable for a nursing school, as earlier announced by the government.”
He further queried:
“Whether there are any concrete plans to permanently resolve the challenges faced by Binga District, particularly regarding the mortuary, which has not been fully operational for a long time.”
In a follow-up question, the legislator pressed government on broader service delivery gaps:
“What measures are being taken to improve healthcare services in Binga District, particularly in rural areas.”
“What measures are being implemented to reduce incidence of malaria and waterborne diseases in the Zambezi Valley.”
“Whether there are any plans to upgrade and expand healthcare facilities in Binga District in light of population growth and increased economic activity.”
No response was recorded in the proceedings
