In a default judgement, Bulawayo magistrate Nyaradzi Ringisai ordered Dr Arnold Nyamande to pay $8 000 for negligently causing the death of a newborn baby. The newborn baby suffered complications at birth at Marondera Polyclinic in Mzilikazi suburb and was later rushed to Mpilo Central Hospital in an unregistered pirate taxi as Nyamande’s surgery did not have enough oxygen.
The default judgment came after the Medical and Dental Practitioners Council of Zimbabwe had found Dr Nyamande guilty of unethical conduct in connection with the newborn baby’s death.
