AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Health Workforce Boost: Zimbabwe has approved 8,785 new health worker posts for 2026 to ease long-running hospital and clinic staffing shortages, though officials warned funding delays and staff retention still threaten progress. Maternal Health After Trauma: A pregnant Gweru vendor struck during a municipal raid is now hospitalised after complications following childbirth, with her family facing mounting medical costs and the case heading to court. Road Safety and Emergency Care: The Gokwe–Kwekwe Road crash death toll has climbed to 10, while the Deka Bridge tragedy has been declared a State of Disaster, underlining urgent needs for safer roads and rapid response. Public Health Regulation: EMA has introduced new rules banning lead in paint, setting a strict maximum lead limit to protect public health. Adolescent Health Policy: Civil society is pushing for a law to let girls under 18 access sexual and reproductive health services based on maturity and understanding, as teenage pregnancies and HIV among adolescents rise. Workplace/Community Health Risks: Mercury use in artisanal gold mining remains widespread despite known harm to brains, kidneys and lungs, with calls for safer practices. Private Healthcare Oversight: Proposed amendments to SI 330 are set for stronger parliamentary debate, with healthcare stakeholders divided over how medical aid societies should be allowed to run service arms.
