Over the weekend, close to 2 000 people, including the elderly, from Sanyati district benefited from a free mobile clinic outreach organised by the Zanu PF Kadoma district leadership.
The free mobile clinic outreach programme was an initiative aimed at awarding locals free access to health and counselling services. Cde Langton Mabhanga stated that the free mobile clinic initiative was well-received by youths and women.
Cde Langton Mabhanga is Zanu PF Kadoma District Coordinating Committee (DCC) chairman. While he spoke at Patchway and Chakari clinics, he said:
“People have described this initiative as a modern approach of engaging grassroots beyond and outside electioneering. The programme also raises awareness on the ongoing Covid-19 vaccination programme.”
Hundreds of people in Blackmore Vale resettlement scheme in Chakari Constituency got access to medical attention on various ailments with the help of ten medical doctors under a volunteer group and Young Achievers.
“The private sector should come on board to support the ‘Five-Million Health Outreach Programme’ with pharmaceuticals to assist the aged and poor, as this is a pro-poor programme that seeks to heed President Mnangagwa’s clarion call of leaving no one behind,” commented Mabhanga.
Some of the ailments that were attended to are diabetes, hypertension and peptic ulcer. The majority of the people that benefited from the programme were those above 55 years
