We have a similar history, have the same shareholder and indeed share many strategic interests. “We have been working together on so many other collaborations as business partners and it is our wish that beyond today, the market views us as an extension of each other. Meanwhile, TelOne Managing Director, Mrs Chipo Mtasa said the collaboration between TelOne and NetOne is not by coincidence as it goes beyond this current project. In this regard, it is therefore imperative that we identify easily accessible amenities that can be transformed into Community Isolation Centres,” said minister Mangwiro. In that vein, we realise that there are several patients that are asymptomatic and may show limited to no symptoms at all and as such do not require hospitalisation. “In as much as we acknowledge that Covid-19, like many other natural disasters, was unforeseen and unexpected, we will use our experiences as learning points for improved Public Health Surveillance and Disaster Preparedness and Responsiveness as a key priority area.

In line with our vision which is to have the highest possible level of health and quality of life for all citizens, we hope to take this thrust on a national level to all Provincial, District, and Rural Hospitals and ensure full capacitation of our health facilities. “In line with disaster-response preparedness at Hospital level, Sally Mugabe Hospital, formerly known as Harare Hospital, now has a fully functional ward that can accommodate 42 patients in the event that Covid-19 cases are exacerbated.
It is therefore delighting to note the ward refurbishment and borehole drilling initiatives will live beyond the challenges of the moment.” Health and Child Care Deputy Minister, Dr John Mangwiro also expressed gratitude to the two coporates for collaborating towards realising better health outcomes for the country. Maternal and paediatric health are also areas that remain key on our health radar. While faced with this, we also have other diseases like cancer, malaria, HIV-AIDS which remain alive and needing management by the same hospitals. “The call is even urgent now more than ever in view of the COVID-19 global pandemic. My message today is to therefore implore other corporates and donors to consider structuring their Corporate Social Responsibility deliberately targeted to improve our public hospitals as access to health is a core indicator of development in any country. The results show that indeed we are stronger together. This is what happens when individuals and organisations come together with a noble intention. “I have also been made aware of a prior donation of Personal Protective Equipment(PPE) done in May for the health workers and these donations were valued at ZWL10million. Sally Mugabe Central hospital has 40 wards. She also expressed gratitude to the wider scope of the project which which involves refurbishment of 42 bed ward, drilling of three boreholes and mobilisation of critical hospital equipment.
It therefore becomes imperative that we focus on ensuring that the facility is capacitated especially as a way to create a safety net for our people,” said the First Lady. As we all know, many of our vulnerable people are cared for at this hospital. “Specifically the intervention we have witnessed here today is timely and most critical at this point for the Sally Mugabe Central Hospital which is the biggest referral hospital in the country with a bed capacity of 1186. This is certainly the way to go if indeed we want to achieve more and get our health system back on track. On that note, let me commend the two state owned institutions TelOne and NetOne for coming up with this exemplary initiative. The hard work I have witnessed here today is most pleasing especially as it depicts how collaborative effort can easily help us to rebuild and capacitate health facilities countrywide. I am delighted to be officiating at this event today, which is a highlight of the hard work that has been put to support one of the major central hospitals in our country, Sally Mugabe Central Hospital during these trying times. Officiating at the Ward Handover Ceremony, First Lady, Mai Auxilia Mnangagwa said the gesture by the two entities was a step in the right direction for the country’s health sector which is currently in need of recapitalisation. TELONE in partnership with mobile network operator, NetOne have combined efforts to refurbish and fully equip a ward at Sally Mugabe Hospital (formally Harare Hospital), a move that is set to improve service delivery at the health institution.
