Gweru clinics operate without incinerators

Mtapa Clinic and Isolation Hospital which are run by the Gweru City Council are still operating without incinerators, two years after the local authority’s health department ordered that the furnaces be installed in 2014 at the two institutions. An incinerator is a furnace used for burning waste.

The two clinics dump their waste, including used syringes, bandages and linen in open spaces, posing a health hazard to residents.
