"Drugs We Buy For Public Hospitals Disappear Very Quickly" - Finance Minister

Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube has expressed concern over the alleged disappearance of medicines in public hospitals.

He made the remarks during a Parliamentary debate on sectorial allocations in the 2023 national budget. He said:

We have found that some of the drugs that we buy for public hospitals disappear very quickly and how come these private hospitals always have medicine, what is going on?

… there is something else, I do not know whether you have noticed that we have got private hospitals mushrooming everywhere, every other corner of Harare, there is some private hospital coming up – I am dramatising.

It is quite clear that this is a growth sector. If you go to those private hospitals, you will find that there is adequate medicine and there is equipment and quality personnel.

Zimbabwe’s health sector budget for 2023 will total ZW$702 billion, with international development partners providing some Z$232 billion according to Ncube.

There have been reports that some health caregivers who work in public health institutions steal health supplies and put them into their own private institutions or on the streets.

When you educate someone you have given them the ability to practice what they have been taught, so those medical personnel you claim are stealing are infact simply exercising that ability acquired because the meagre salaries you pay them. Chiro muropa hachitsvetwi pasi.

Thank you Professor MTHULI Ncube for making a good observation. Those drugs must have been stolen by the nurses and doctors. Pay them better salaries so that they stop stealing.

Always looking for someone to blame Mthuli.Next time you will be saying it's Mugabe who causes shortages like your coallegue Chris or maybe next time you will be saying it's sanctions

.... there is adequate medicine there is equipment and there is quality personnel in private hospitals..the Honourable minister laments We are not to blame for the rot in public hospitals Drugs equipment and personnel are being stolen Another minister will come tomorrow and tell us that we can't secure enough drugs because of foreign currency shortages caused by sanctions Then another one comes and blames the departed Always looking for somebody to blame

Drugs in public hospitals grow legs because nurses do not earn a living salary, they earn peanuts..drugs are fungible can easily be converted to cash...as soon as they are distributed they disappear

Haiwawo, tibvirepo. The example he has given isn't appropriate for corruption. It's scapegoating pure and simple. He gave the example of private hospitals. What about surgeries? What about private schools and colleges that probably outnumber government schools? Why are there multitudinous security companies that outnumber police who are supposed to secure people's safety? Goreketai tusvinu mhanduwe. Private sector is more efficient than government. Pure and simple.

how come these private hospitals always have medicine, what is going on?.. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Because they are well run if you are not intelligent enough to understand that. Some people who have Phd's and degrees are well educated but not very intelligent 😂
