Number of Zimbabweans Seeking Medical Treatment Falls

Columbus Mavhunga

   HARARE, ZIMBABWE - Zimbabwe's Association of Healthcare Funders says
   the number of people seeking medical help has fallen by 50 percent
   since last year because of the rising cost of drugs not covered by
   insurance. Many Zimbabweans are turning to herbal treatments that
   health analysts warn are not always helpful.

   But President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government says a solution is on the
   way.

   Fifty-one-year-old Nkululelo Mbambo broke his right ankle. He is
   outside Harare's Parirenyatwa hospital after being discharged.
