Belarus Donates Mobile Hospital to Zimbabwe
11:47 23.01.2024 (Updated: 12:39 20.02.2024) Zimbabwe is actively boosting the country's healthcare system through international cooperation. For instance, Russia's Rostec State Corporation reported earlier that it helped establish an air ambulance service in Zimbabwe, by providing the Russian helicopters and by sharing work experience.
Belarus donated a mobile hospital to
Zimbabwe, the country's state media, The Herald, reported.
"This donation to the Angel of Hope Foundation, a donation to the First Lady of Zimbabwe, Dr. Auxillia Mnangagwa, is a donation to Zimbabwe through the Angel of Hope. Today we are witnessing an event where in terms of access to state-of-the-art medical care leapfrogs Zimbabwe to the First World," Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa was quoted by the media as saying at the handover ceremony.
The gift is a sign of the "dear, solid and comprehensive friendship" between Belarus and
the Southern African nation, the president reportedly added.
"I have no doubt that we shall rank Zimbabwe among those in our region or on the continent who have access to the-state-of-the-art medical facility and care we are all now going to have, and it's mobile, which means it is able to go to the patient rather than the patient come to it," the leader was cited as saying.
In a special message, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, in his turn, assured that his country "will continue to extend its comprehensive support [...] for the benefit of improving the social security and well-being of the people of Zimbabwe," the report said.
In addition to Belarus, Zimbabwe is also developing
cooperation with Russia in the field of healthcare. Rostec helped to create an air ambulance service in Zimbabwe – "the first on the continent" – by supplying the Southern African nation with Russian Ansat and Mi-17 multipurpose helicopters, Rostec First Deputy Director General Vladimir Artyakov said. He noted that
Russia has also organized training for technical specialists and flight personnel.
