HARARE: In a move to revolutionize access to quality healthcare in Zimbabwe, Cimas Health Group, has acquired a mobile clinic.
The initiative is expected to bring essential healthcare services directly to communities in need, complementing government efforts by bridging the healthcare gap in underserved communities and areas with limited or reduced healthcare infrastructure.
Unveiling the mobile clinic as the curtain closed on this years’ 114th edition of the Zimbabwe Agricultural Show; Cimas Health Group’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Vulindlela Ndlovu, said that the acquisition of the mobile clinic underscores the group’s commitment to providing global standardized health and wellness solutions, regardless of location or circumstances.
“In today’s fast-paced world, access to quality healthcare is of utmost importance and as Cimas continues to be innovative in the health sector, we purchased a mobile clinic in our efforts to improve the accessibility of health services.
“This mobile clinic is a transformative tool in the healthcare delivery system as it revolutionizes the way medical services are provided.
“It brings healthcare directly to communities, regardless of their location or infrastructure limitations,” he said.
He also highlighted that the mobile clinic was designed to extend health services delivery to underserved populations and areas with limited or inadequate healthcare infrastructure, thereby filling a critical gap in healthcare access.
“Our mobile clinic will be used to provide a wide range of services that can be tailored to specific needs of the populations thereby bringing healthcare directly to communities in need.
“It’s purpose will range and not limited to preventive care, vaccinations, health education and primary healthcare services,” he added.
Head of Clinics at Cimas Health Group Dr. Travolta Mushayamano also said that they are already identifying areas with limited capacity, where the nearest healthcare centers are often far away, particularly in mining areas and farms.
“We are working to map out a plan to visit these areas, as the majority of the population resides in rural areas. Therefore, our healthcare data and access to health have to cover that population as this is where most people live.
“If we have more mobile units like this, it will greatly improve the quality of data for reporting and also offer services to people living near the borders, we hope to establish medical tourism in the country,” further said Dr Mushayamano.
