More than ten doctors wrote to me this morning correctly expressing their legitimate anger at what happened to one of their colleagues yesterday in Manicaland.
This is Dr Mthabisi Nembaware.
He was involved in a road traffic accident yesterday, he was coming from a rural hospital in Hauna where he was saving lives, he was going to Mutare.
The car in which he was a passenger had a burst tyre resulting in this tragic accident.
He had severe Traumatic Brain Injury and was stabilised at Mutare Hospital.
But unfortunately the hospital doesn’t have a functional ICU unit or a functional city to city ambulance system.
As such, he was supposed to be transferred to Harare by air ambulance for special medical care.
Despite parading the overpriced so called helicopter ambulance, the State couldn’t airlift him to Harare.
His family put together US$5,000 to airlift him using a private ambulance air service.
But sadly the air ambulance plane couldn’t go because Mutare airport doesn’t have working landing lights.
Unfortunately, Dr Mthabisi Nembaware succumbed to the injuries at around 11 pm last night.
The doctor has become yet another unnecessary statistic of a collapsed healthcare services.
Our country has adequate resources to have a good functional healthcare system, but the public funds are ruthlessly looted to the detriment of the whole nation.
Millions of dollars are spent annually buying thousands of luxury cars for Zimbabwe’s unethical political elite, money that could have been deployed fix the critical public services like healthcare.
May Dr Mthabisi Nembaware Rest in PeaceðŸ™ðŸ¿.

The Role of Technology in Healthcare Innovation
Technology has transformed healthcare systems worldwide by improving medical research, patient care, and disease prevention. Hospitals and healthcare providers increasingly use digital systems, artificial intelligence, robotics, and telemedicine to improve treatment outcomes and operational efficiency.

Mesothelioma Compensation: How Victims May Recover Money
A mesothelioma diagnosis can bring emotional and financial hardship. Treatment can be expensive, and many patients are unable to work. Mesothelioma compensation may help victims and families cover important costs.
rnrn
Compensation may come from asbestos trust funds, settlements, lawsuits, veterans benefits, or wrongful death claims. The best option depends on where exposure happened and which companies were responsible.
rnrn
Asbestos trust funds were created by companies that filed bankruptcy but still had responsibility for asbestos-related harm. Many victims may qualify if their exposure can be documented.
rnrn
A lawsuit may be filed against companies that manufactured, supplied, or used asbestos products. Some cases settle before trial, while others may go to court.
rnrn
Compensation may cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, travel costs, caregiving expenses, and loss of financial support.
rnrn
A mesothelioma lawyer can investigate exposure history, identify responsible companies, file claims, and negotiate settlements.
rnrn
Because deadlines apply, victims should not wait too long to explore legal options.
