VP Mohadi wants drug makers to help fix Zimbabwe's health system. He visited ZimPharm yesterday at the Belmont Industrial Area and called for more support. Local companies need help growing since Zimbabwe buys 70 percent of its medicines from foreign countries. These imports come mainly from India, China, and South Africa, which creates problems when global supply chains break down.
The Vice President praised ZimPharm for staying open despite its limited space. Their old machines need replacing, and they struggle with foreign money shortages. According to national health plans running through 2025, government plans include making Zimbabwe less dependent on outside medicines. Officials want local factories producing essential drugs instead of relying on other nations.
Bulawayo used to lead industrial production across many sectors, including medicine-making. The Vice President reminded everyone about smoke rising from factory chimneys back during better days. He promised to continue working toward bringing manufacturing back to full strength. This fits with the national goals of aiming for upper-middle income status before 2030 without leaving anybody behind.
