Dr Madzima

Doctor Bernard Madzima is a Zimbabwean medical practitioner who is the Family Health Director in the Ministry of Health and Child Care. He was appointed the National Aids Council chief executive officer on 8 April 2020 replacing Doctor Tapuwa Magure who left the organisation in 2018.[1]

In one of his presentations on maternal health he said, abortions in the country fuel maternal deaths, with 80 deaths having been recorded in the first four month of 2019. He said many young women and girls who undergo illegal abortions suffer infections but do not seek medical attention due to fear of prosecution. He said another major cause of maternal deaths in Zimbabwe was intensive bleeding and that while the maternal mortality rate has significantly dropped in the country, the figure remains very high.[2]
