IT’S been 41 months since Mpilo Central Hospital in Bulawayo opened its cancer unit for members of the public in the southern region to access treatment for one of the leading causes of deaths in Zimbabwe.
Sadly, the state-of-the-art radiotherapy machines in the unit have been down more than they have been operational.
When the unit was officially opened on April 7, 2017 – 17 years after its closure, the public was guaranteed – or so they thought – that the additional treatment costs they incurred travelling out of Bulawayo would be over.
Three months down the line, the only functional radiotherapy machine broke down, and that has been the story ever since.
