Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Mpilo Central Hospital Chief Executive Officer, Professor Solwayo Ngwenya said 39 health workers and their families were left homeless after a massive fire destroyed their living quarters at the hospital on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

In a memorandum issued this Thursday, Prof Ngwenya said the hospital is arranging temporary alternative accommodation for the affected members of staff and their families.<\/p>\n

The estimated cost of damage to property as a result of the inferno is estimated at US$ 500 000.00, Prof Ngwenya said.<\/p>\n

Pindula News is publishing Prof Ngwenya\u2019s statement in its entirety below:<\/p>\n

This is to inform you that last night one of our staff residences was destroyed by a massive fire. It affected 39 health workers and their families.<\/p>\n

We were very lucky that no one was seriously injured. One person suffered a broken ankle and another had smoke inhalation effects but is stable.<\/p>\n

Our thoughts are with the affected members and their families. The hospital is arranging temporary alternative accommodation for them.<\/p>\n

Some staff residents reported seeing sparks of fire from an electrical distribution box, and we suspect that this could be the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n

However, the Fire Brigade is working on further forensic investigations to establish the exact cause of the fire.<\/p>\n

The estimated cost of damage to property is around US$ 500 000.00.<\/p>\n

We hope to rise up from this terrible setback and continue to give service to many of our patients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
