Harare records decline in STI cases 📉

STI cases in Harare Province have fallen to below 2,000 per quarter, down from between 2,000 and 3,000 cases previously recorded, according to the National AIDS Council.

NAC Harare Province manager Adonijah Muzondiona says targeted interventions focusing on adolescents and young people are contributing to the decline.

However, adolescents and young women aged 15 to 24 continue to account for a disproportionate share of new infections.

The NAC says programmes targeting young people, including peer-led initiatives and youth networks, remain central to HIV and STI prevention efforts.

🇿🇼 Zimbabwe creates new Medical Services Directorate

Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Health and Child Care has established a new Directorate of Medical Services aimed at strengthening the coordination and delivery of specialist, emergency and surgical services.

Permanent Secretary Dr Maunganidze says the new structure should not simply create new boxes on an organisational chart, but must result in stronger coordination, clearer accountability and better services for patients.

The reforms also include dedicated posts for emergency services and coordination of the National Surgical, Obstetric and Anaesthesia Plan.

Good news for Care Workers in the UK!

🚨 BREAKING: A major change for exploited migrant care workers in the UK

Recognised victims of modern slavery on Skilled Worker visas will be allowed to leave abusive employers and work elsewhere without losing their immigration status.

The move comes amid years of concerns over exploitation in Britain’s care sector, including underpayment, excessive working hours, poor accommodation, threats and employer-linked visa dependency.

The UK Government says more than 7,500 sponsor licences have been revoked, including 1,800 in the care sector, as it continues its crackdown on rogue employers.

But what does the new rule actually mean for migrant care workers — and why has employer-linked immigration status been such a powerful tool in workplace exploitation?

“That is punishment.”

Harm reduction expert Wilson Box has raised a red flag over Zimbabwe’s militarised and highly regimented drug rehabilitation programmes, questioning whether such approaches are actually reducing drug use and preventing relapse.

Box argues that drug dependence should be approached primarily as a public health issue, with greater focus on treatment, counselling, harm reduction and recovery.

With drug and substance abuse continuing to affect communities, particularly young people, the question remains: Are Zimbabwe’s current rehabilitation models working?

LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE AVENUES CLINIC

02/09/2026

🏥 Avenues Clinic’s latest upgrade could change where Zimbabweans turn for critical care.

The clinic has revamped its ICU, HDU and CCU, bringing more advanced critical-care services closer to home.

Managing Director Sibusisiwe Ndhlovu says patients who previously travelled outside Zimbabwe for treatment can now reconsider, with advanced healthcare services increasingly available locally.
