If you’re thinking of travelling to Zimbabwe or Africa get the vaccination from your travel doctor in your area theyll advise you on what vaccines and medications are supposed to take before you travel to those countries. Anti rabies vaccines is the most important for people like me who will be visiting the villages. Imbwa dzoruma

Noone is coming to serve us as diasporians if we come together and invest in one hospital we can make a big difference

[@AfroTravellor]

The unemployment of Zimbabweans doesn't justify the bad health care notice the number of cars bought by the government? It's misplaced priorities. Ministers get houses worth half a million deputy ministers over a quarter of a million, perm secs also get. Judges etc.

Zim healthcare is a weird one, when my dad was ill during COVID I think he got better care there than UK as they was no beds here, but it was costly but had cover, my cousin passed away in April under Zim care but we had cover, I don't know what it is but when people pass away like my Aunt in UK it feels like a lot was done to keep them alive in Zim it feels like something more could have been done but not sure if that's lack of resources or self hatred for ourselves, my mission now is to find a way to make Zimbos love themselves again

[@ruwaorganic]

Thank you for sharing your story. I've actually heard that too that there is good care here.

Thank you for sharing. I am very sorry for the passing of your family's children. Strength and courage to you and your family.

[@dmazingi]

This story is very very light on the details of what actually happened before they went to hospital and what care was given there. I'm guessing the doctors and nurses did what they could do with what they had. But they were let down by a system that is supposed to get patients to hospital in time and provide medication, investigations and resources adequate for the job

[@Mabsknows]

I am so sorry for your loss. May the family find healing...what a tragedy. Whenever I hear stories about the Zim health care I can't help but be so shocked. Zim Medical school used to be one of the BEST in the continent, therefore they were the best in practices...but today the doctors (who I believe are still very good) have little to work with. Politicians know how to ruin good things.

[@starleo_leo]

Deepest condolences to you and your family ❤ Healthcare could be something people from the diaspora could come together and possibly build hospitals. We have a huge community and want to come home but healthcare is the biggest problem.

[@Blacma32]

[@a.d.m.i.r.e.t.k]

Very sorry for your loss brother. Burnt rice its incomplete combustion happening there,so if the rice really got burnt for a long time ,there is a possibility Carbon monoxide was produced in quantities that are fatal. Its a very dangerous gas as it binds to your blood cells and inhibits you from getting enough oxygen, and the process is irreversible as it permanently damages the capability of your red blood cells to carry oxygen. Its probably what killed them. So sorry brother❤

[@mandy8080]

Obviously we can't compare The NHS with the health system in Zimbabwe but the NHS is no longer fit for purpose either. Some pts being misdiagnosed, most Pts are waiting for ambulance for up to 6 hrs, 7 hour wait to see a junior Dr in ED, over 18 hrs to get a bed on the ward, specialist ref taking up to 1 year so these problems are every now. Even in the UK people should still get health insurance because the NHS of yester year isn't the same anymore

[@heathermtetwa1579]

The number of Zim nurses and doctors in the diaspora are enough to run a new country, Botswana and Namibia have a population of 2 million plus people, and how many Zimbabweans are in the diaspora.

[@michaelking2745]

My. Condolences 🙏 brother to you and your brother's family. Thank you for the information on the health care system. However, I feel you left out a bit of the story at the end. You should have asked your sister in law and the surviving kids to give their account of what happened. A full toxicology report was needed including on the ones that survived.

[@manganim197]

We can’t have an effective system where all the consumables come from the patients’ families. It’s insane! In my view, the skill and the expertise is there. The lack of facilities is frustrating!

I think the pathologist didn't want to do the autopsy and the police didn't want to push for it either. There are case of that poisoning with people foaming on the mouth but there is no scientific evidence of the relation it has to carbon monoxide poisoning.

[@faebalina7786]

The time the Africans that live back home and not just diasporans raise their standards and expectations of these things the sooner things will improve.The good things for leaders is that when people are ignorant and in survival mode they won’t know that they should be getting which by the way isn’t just an issue of governance but everyone’s responsibility and has a lot to do with required shifts in culture and attitudes but this does beging with education.

100 dollars per a month for health insurance is a good deal if it doesn't have some form of restriction. Tell us more please if restrictions apply.

These are more or less amounts we pay for our medical aid from an individual. Its 60/40%. I pay 40% then your company pays 60%. In SA my medical cover will cover a helicopter services as well and normal ambulance we have specialized ones. There are different medical aid. It's a blessing not to.take such for granted.

Anyway, thanks for the tip about Healthcare in SA.

[@tiffanysithole3242]

@@tadiosbeyene9086 Yes I am aware about that, I was just saying the amount they pay that side is more or less what I pay for my portion in medical aid and based on what he said what it covers in Zim here in SA it covers a lot like consultation, medicine, ambulances and admissions. I also said sometimes we take it for granted on what we have versas what other countries dont have that's all .But thanks.

[@UncleO001.]

Zim healthcare is very bad most people die from preventable causes . I have worked in Zim health care in the late 90s . There is a very big difference with other countries within the region. Most people who can afford they tend to go to SA for healthcare services . We have a very long way to go as a country to improve our healthcare delivery system

[@NyariClaire2]

@@UncleO001.so true. Comparing private healthcare and NHS is not fair. Comparing public zim healthcare like parirenyatwa and NHS is a better comparison. Buying your own meds, bring your own blankets and water etc etc

[@Bobby56288]

I think you are hugely misinformed. Zim doctors and nurses definitely try their best despite being paid peanuts, if they’re paid at all. But let’s not conflate their dedication with the state of our healthcare system. I live in a European country where I can even get surgery for free. The largest amount of money a woman would have to pay for giving birth would be around $10 and that would be for parking. Zim nurses and doctors do try their best but they operate with one arm tied behind their backs. The system is dismal and though they may be dedicated, there’s only so much you can do. What is a doctor supposed to do when there is no electricity, medicine, equipment etc. ?
