The Ministry of Health and Child Care has warned the public about false and misleading information circulating on social media and WhatsApp regarding the 2026 Registered General Nurse (RGN) orientation dates.
In a public notice issued on Monday, 22 December 2025, the Ministry said the message directing enquiries to a WhatsApp number (+263 719 517 834) is not sanctioned by the Ministry. The notice reads:
“The Ministry categorically states that this information is fake and did not originate from any official Ministry of Health source.
“All authentic information on nursing recruitment, intake, orientation, and training is communicated exclusively through Government mainstream newspapers and the Ministry’s official social media platforms which are, X formerly Twitter (@MoHCCZim), and Facebook (Ministry of Health and Child Care).
“The public is urged to disregard any notices not issued through these official channels and to report suspicious messages to the MoHCC for verification.
“The dissemination of false or misleading information that may cause public alarm is an offence and may attract prosecution in terms of the law.
“The Ministry remains committed to transparency, accuracy, and safeguarding public trust in the delivery of health services.”
