Local Hospitals Demanding US$3 000 For 'Proper' COVID-19 Treatment

The cost of COVID-19 treatment in Zimbabwe’s hospitals has shot through the roof with the chances of getting successful treatment now dependent on how much money and influence you have.

According to ZIMPRICECHECK.COM, a prominent local doctor said that if you want proper treatment you have to be willing to pay the following costs:

  • Doctors will demand US$250 per visit i.e. consultation if you are suspected of having COVID-19. This includes the cost of PPE and other materials they need to handle your case
  • You will need to pay about US$75 for the actual COVID-19 test also known as the PCR test
  • Other tests will also need to be carried out resulting in costs that will average about US$400 per day
  • The total cost for the estimated 5 days you will need treatment is about US$3 000.00
  • In fact, some hospitals are already demanding a deposit of US$5 000.00

To save your hard-earned US$3 000, there are a few things you can do to avoid contracting the novel coronavirus – SARS-CoV-2 – or its variant recently detected in South Africa – 501.V2. Here is what to do:

  • Stay at home
  • If possible work from home
  • Behave responsibly and stop engaging in risky behaviour, for example, hosting and attending parties
  • Wear your mask
  • Practice social distancing
  • Avoid travelling unnecessarily
  • Avoid large gatherings
