He said the money was required drugs, infrastructure, equipment and salaries. He bemoaned the paltry amounts that are always to the health in the budget. In the National Budget for 2017, Finance Minister allocated $281 976 000 to the ministry of health. While this presents a huge shortfall, it should also be noted that the total budget was $4, 1 billion. The money allocated to the health ministry was just 6,88 percent of the total budget. ---------- *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.
