The government has engaged the World Health Organisation (WHO) seeking assistance with the procurement of drugs for local hospitals and pharmacies. Speaking before parliament last week, Health and Child Care Minister Obadiah Moyo said
We have also engaged the World Health Organisation (WHO), they helped us during the cholera outbreak. They gave us drugs worth $3 million, now they are also helping us. They are in their meetings because we told them that it is now an emergency in Zimbabwe.
Yesterday (On Wednesday) I was with the head of WHO in Zimbabwe and he sent a message to their headquarters. We have also engaged their director-general who is in Geneva, I met him when I went there for a meeting and he has understood that and they also want to help us. Their hearts are pure when it comes to helping Zimbabwe.
