Crisis At Sally Mugabe Hospital: Broken Elevators, Power Outages, And Water Shortages

Conditions have deteriorated at Sally Mugabe Hospital in Harare, where staff are compelled to carry deceased patients down the stairs due to malfunctioning elevators.

Meanwhile, patients in pain must navigate the stairs without access to elevators.

Frequent power outages have compounded the crisis, severely disrupting mortuary services and increasing the strain on hospital operations and staff.

According to Business Times, staff are now requiring patients to bring their own water from home or purchase it from nearby vendors.

A staff member interviewed by Business Times said that the situation is taking a mental toll on nurses and other healthcare workers, prompting some to resign in protest. Said the individual:

The situation here is dire. Some have resigned because of this. Imagine carrying a deceased person down the stairs. It is traumatising.

The situation is so stressful. The stairs are not working and it’s frustrating. You can imagine the stress patients go through, imagine what their relatives go through. It’s a crisis.

We are often told to bring our own water or buy it at the tuck shop for $1.70 per five litres. It’s overwhelming to deal with illness in the family while also worrying about basic needs like water.

Criticism has been directed at the hospital’s emergency response, with many patients reporting prolonged waiting times.

Patients in Ward B3 reported a critical shortage of beds and wheelchairs, forcing them to wait for others to vacate before accessing care.

The Business Times news team reportedly faced harassment from security personnel while investigating and seeking comments from hospital officials.

During a recent budget consultation in Parliament before the Portfolio Committee on Health, Dr Masanga Mutede, acting director of the Family Health Ministry of Health and Child Care exposed the severity of the crisis in the healthcare system. He said:

You arrive at the hospital and see a building with no maintenance, with floors that are cracked. This reflects the quality of service we are able to provide.

In our maternity ward, we usually admit eight people to a room, and often mothers must lay on the floor due to a lack of beds. This is unacceptable.

The ministry is working on a strategy to centralize procurement of medicines to ensure that our institutions are restocked. Currently, we face a dire shortage.

This is nothing new, business as usual, Zanu PF just doesn't care about anyone else, but what makes it so striking was that they were given these hospitals when they were one of the best in Africa. All they had to do was upgrade and maintain them over time but they are busy buying non-productive cars which aren't even made in Zimbabwe for that matter. Seriously I don't understand why they can't commit to buying locally assembled cars, it should be government policy that all of its vehicles must be locally assembled instead of constantly propping up the South African car industry with our foolishness, Huh 😔😔 Zanu PF has destroyed us and the longer this goes on the farther we will have to walk back to prosperity. Rural people please stop voting for these thieves, what is it that you see in them, you are making us suffer because of your ****ity.

The hospital has its own budget submitted to either treasury or Min of Health. The staff its self is to blame they know who is responsible and can shame him/ her because of reasons better known to them.

Mugabe is the main cause of all this mess, if you followed the economy since the 80s you will notice that things started to get tricky after they paid $50000 each to war veterans. But the final nail in the coffin was when the farm invasions took place, everything just collapsed and suddenly lawlessness was awash all over the nation. He could have saved the country in 2008 had he accepted defeat and stepped down but what did he do? He dug deep and refused to go. People want to always compare Mugabe with others but they forget who started this entire mess, had he said to his followers that we are Democrats and we don't cheat on elections or use violence to win, the country wouldn't be where it is right now.

A good father doesn't buy a GD6 whilst his children are not going to school. Priority differs,motives but let's our actions be of God

Prioritizing mbare than a worker carrying a dead person to next floor. During his days Mugabe e said there is no one in zanupf who is clever enough to succeed him. Building round about in glen norah was a worst comparing to people dying in hospital. They want to take over mbare musika but they are failing national sport stadium. City council proved itself on Rufaro. If you can't get chairs for national what about chairs at mbare musika
