The Midlands Province has made significant strides in the fight against COVID-19 following the commissioning of the Kwekwe Infectious Diseases Hospital.

Speaking at the commissioning of the hospital, which was established in partnership with local companies, Midlands Minister for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Larry Mavima, said:

Midlands province has taken huge strides towards the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic including the completion of this facility (Kwekwe Infectious Diseases Hospital) which we strongly believe will rate as one of the most useful pieces of infrastructure in the city and the province as a whole.

Mavima also applauded mining companies in the province for the support that they are giving the government to help fight COVID-19. Added Mavima:

Refurbishment of the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Gweru City also through Government of Zimbabwe funding and support from Mimosa mines.
