These facilities are not being adequately provided by Government or any other organisation. The driving reason behind this project is the need of the community , which is serviced by only 4 hospitals which have limited facilities.
Statistics show that there is a shortage of hospital beds in Zimbabwe.
There are nine major medical aid insurance societies, excluding mining houses and banks, who have their own medical aid schemes. There are currently 885 hospital beds available. In view of the poor standard of existing medical facilities in the region and with little or no likelihood of increased financial support from the Ministry of Health or local authorities for the provision of adequae health care facilities it is left to the local community to provide the health care service required. To complement this the new hospital provides numerous functions, many of which are not offered to any great extent in the other hospitals. See Facilities Offered .
