The government's devolution cash supposedly built a new clinic in Ruwa, a move local officials are hyping as a win for President Mnangagwa's policies. The Damofalls Clinic, opened by the Ruwa Local Board, is now serving that area along with East View and chunks of Goromonzi and Mabvuku. It currently runs basic outpatient and immunization services, with plans to add a maternity wing next year.

A midwife there, Sister Musabayana, confirmed they're only running those two departments for now. A board manager, Josephine Mwaitirwa, called the place a game-changer for locals who used to travel far for care, saying medicines and staff are available. Ruwa's mayor, Michael Mataruka, also mentioned that people can even pay their municipal bills at the clinic. They claim similar health facility upgrades are happening elsewhere with this funding, name-checking Bindura and Kwekwe.

The whole devolution scheme is framed as letting local councils address their own needs, part of what's branded the Second Republic's vision. The narrative pushes this as community-driven development, with health committees supposedly keeping things transparent. They also allege that the money is fixing rural schools. The official line is that this clinic represents a future of equitable resource sharing, one local project at a time.
