Zimbabwean journalist and filmmaker Hopewell Chin\u2019ono has claimed that the ruling ZANU PF forced West End Hospital in Harare to admit the country\u2019s fourth coronavirus victim on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
He claims that the hospital admitted the deceased against its rules which note that it does not treat respiratory diseases.<\/p>\n
It emerged that the patient was a relative of prominent members of the ruling party. We present Chin\u2019ono\u2019s post in full below.<\/p>\n
Why did the hospital break it\u2019s own rule not to treat respiratory diseases?<\/p>\n
Why would Dr Maulana rule out COVID-19 and consider pneumonia when the hospital said it won\u2019t treat respiratory diseases?<\/p>\n
Why did she override the doctor on duty\u2019s decision that it was Coronavirus?<\/p>\n
Why did she come for this specific patient as an Executive Director?<\/p>\n
Dr Maulana should simply accept personal and collective responsibility for making tragic errors that exposed her medical staff to COVID-19.<\/p>\n
Hospital directors called trying to force nurses to admit patient into CCU.<\/p>\n
Nurses refused and offered to resign and there was a standoff.<\/p>\n
Can she deny this version? If she does then perhaps we can back it up with recordings that staff made and evidence that staff were told on March 25 that the hospital won\u2019t be treating respiratory diseases.<\/p>\n
West End is not a private hospital as Obadiah Moyo said, it is part of a parastatal called PSMAS which had millions looted by among others Mnangagwa\u2019s spokesman, George Charamba.<\/p>\n
