National Blood Services Zimbabwe (NBSZ) chief executive Ms Lucy Marowa has said that the price of blood in private health institutions will remain at $120 per pint, as the recent subsidy will only cover patients seeking medical care in Government medical institutions.
Said Marowa:
NBSZ implemented cost-cutting measures across its value chain to reduce the fees from $135 to $100 (in public health institutions. Private health institutions’ user fees were also reduced from $161 to $120. However, due to constraints on resources, the reduction of user fees to $50 will be limited to public health institutions.
