HARARE, May 20 (Xinhua) -- Zimbabwe's Cabinet has approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between China and Zimbabwe on paired hospital cooperation, Zimbabwean Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Jenfan Muswere said Tuesday. Addressing a post-Cabinet media briefing, Muswere said the MoU will establish a cooperative relationship in respiratory and critical care medicine between Zimbabwe's Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals and China's Hunan Provincial People's Hospital. "The objective is to strengthen the construction of respiratory and critical care medicine facilities in Zimbabwe and improve local capacity for the prevention, control, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19, as well as airway management and respiratory support for critical patients," Muswere said. Over the decades, China and Zimbabwe have achieved fruitful cooperation in the health sector.

Zimbabwe secures new deal to boost healthcare system
Zimbabwe's healthcare system is set to receive a long-awaited upgrade following a new deal between Zimbabwe and Belarus. This comes a week after the Zimbabwean youth empowerment minister, Tinoda Machakaire, expressed his shock at what he saw when he visited one of the country's public hospitals. According to The Herald , President Emmerson Mnangagwa has secured a deal to revamp Zimbabwe's health sector. The deal will start with the reconstruction and capacitation of the Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals. During his state visit to Belarus, Mnangagwa and Belarusian President Aleksander Lukashenko met to finalise a set of agreements that touch on several areas, including healthcare, tourism, media, and more. But the highlight, according to government sources, is the health agreement that will see Belarus assist in rebuilding Zimbabwe's largest hospital. According to The Herald, the two presidents also signed an MoU on Partnership in Waste Management. They also signed letters of intent for the Reconstruction of Parirenyatwa Hospitals and Strengthening Partnerships in Healthcare. Zimbabwean public hospitals, for years, have reportedly struggled to keep pace with patient demand and equipment shortages. With the Zimbabwe healthcare situation, nurses have been migrating to the UK to escape joblessness and poor working conditions. The government recently stepped in and stopped more than 4 000 qualified nurses from leaving for jobs in the UK. Now, with this new partnership, officials hope to not only improve the physical infrastructure but also introduce advanced technologies and open up training opportunities for local health workers.
