The Bulawayo city health department got a major donation from South Korea. The contribution, arranged through the Korea International Cooperation Agency and an alumni group, includes a vehicle and medical gear worth over a hundred thousand dollars. Officials say this will help them reach remote areas for vaccination drives and maternal care.
Bulawayo's Deputy Mayor, Edwin Ndlovu, accepted the equipment, which was promised during a cultural festival last September. He stated the items, like scanners and scales, will be used across the city's clinics to monitor conditions such as hypertension and track child development. The donation builds on a longstanding relationship between Zimbabwe and South Korea, with previous support including delivery beds for maternal health. Health director Edwin Sibanda Mzingwane noted the vehicle is critical for meeting standards that ensure residents live within a reasonable distance of health services.
