Zimbabwe: providing vital drugs and safe water to rural health centres
Zimbabweans are facing extremely hard economic times resulting in the highest inflation rate in the world, a situation which is putting added pressure on the country's already weakened healthcare system. The ICRC is supporting 16 rural health structures in three districts.

Registered General Nurse Mafios Choto gives a refresher course on malaria awareness to community health workers who volunteer to perform community awareness and mobilization on health issues in Makoni District.

The ICRC, in collaboration with the Zimbabwean Ministry of Health, supports the training of nurses in malaria prevention and treatment, and integrated management of childhood illnesses. Over 120 nurses attended these training sessions in 2007.
