A PRIVATE company, Muduvuri Construction, has pledged to construct modern clinics in all 10 provinces, following successful commissioning of the Muduvuri African Hospital by President Mnangagwa in Kadoma a fortnight ago.
Muduvuri Construction is owned by businessman Mr Jimayi Muduvuri, who said his firm had started working on the modalities for the project that will principally target rural areas.
“Our vision is to benchmark with world-class health institutions and offer all aspects of health care, ranging from emergency and casualty services, maternity, pharmacy, theatre and rehabilitation to physiotherapy,” he said.
“With regard to this, we have submitted our papers to the relevant ministries to construct clinics in all of Zimbabwe’s 10 provinces, with the main target being rural areas. We will also be constructing housing for doctors and nurses.”
Mr Muduvuri said the hospital in Kadoma was given a Pan-African title to challenge fellow businesspeople to engage in initiatives that contribute to nation-building.
The referral hospital’s two wards were named after President Mnangagwa’s late parents, Mhurai and Mafidi. Mr Muduvuri said President Mnangagwa inspired his vision for construction of clinics countrywide.
“I am an African businessman living with disability, who has fought against all the odds to demonstrate to the world that disability is not inability. My actions were inspired by the assistance the President gave me in 2007 to have my legs operated on. Having also suffered from the deadly Covid-19 virus in June 2021, it is my vision to provide quality health care to all Zimbabweans as my wife and I spent nearly two months at St Anne’s Hospital in Harare battling the virus,” he said.
