Zimbabwe: ICRC supports impoverished rural populations

Years of economic and political strife have taken a severe toll on the people of Zimbabwe, particularly those living rural areas. The ICRC is providing the most vulnerable with food and household items, and helping improve access to water and health care facilities.

The ICRC is providing support, including drugs and medical materials, such as syringes, bandages and surgical gloves to 27 healthcare facilities in Zimbabwe.

The aim of the assistance is to improve the quality of health care services and increase the population’s access to them. Eight polyclinics in densely populated suburbs of Harare are among the facilities assisted.
