WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- > The problem we are encountering is at the hospital and especially in the wards is the selling of home-made repacked overnight mahewu and frozen water to hospitalised patients by nurses and police officers’ wives, who are putting patients at risk of disease infection. > As an organisation we are worried about the stuff sold because it has come to our attention that they pick used bottles and re-pack them with water and mahewu. We request your office to help us by enforcing and restricting the sale of such food items in hospital wards. Patients however expressed their ignorance to health hazards they were exposed to. Rather, they are happy because goods are sold at very low prices. Health and Child Care minister Obadiah Moyo said investigations can only be carried out if the questions are forwarded to the ministry’s public relations manager Donald Mujiri. *Related:* Health Facilities In Manicaland Need Rehabilitation – Health Minister Botswana Donates Bandages To Zimbabwe As Part Of Health Assistance Government To Drop Austerity Measures Next Year After The Economy Recovers More: NewsDay Zimbabwe _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
