Pharmacists are complaining about the delays in payment as well as the unsustainable prices being set up by medical aid societies. Retail Pharmacists Association of Zimbabwe (RPA), Barbara Muwanigwa, spoke to the Financial Gazette and said: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- > We have been accepting (customers) on medical aid up to now, but I do not know for how long because the problem with medical aid societies is that they cap prices. But when our money comes, we will not be able to restock because it comes through bank transfers. > If it persists, we will not accept medical aid cards Muwanigwa also warned that drug shortages were going to get more acute: > We are slowly seeing a gap between demand and supply, but it’s not too apparent. Drugs for chronic diseases are not available on the market. We are going to see more shortages of drugs as we move forward. However, Association of Health Funders of Zimbabwe, chief executive officer, Shylet Sanyanga said the RPA was still to approach her organisation to discus the challenges that were affecting the health industry.
