Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Pregnant women are being forced to sleep on the floor of Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals\u2019 Mbuya Nehanda Maternity Hospital.<\/p>\n

Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals spokesperson Lenos Dhire told NewsDay that they had to make floor beds to accommodate the women because the hospital was overwhelmed. Said Dhire:<\/p>\n

This has resulted in the creation of floor beds to accommodate all the mothers.<\/p>\n

In our view, this is a result of a weak referral system due to the malfunctioning of the City of Harare clinics.<\/p>\n

Some mothers come in as walk-in patients when they are already in labour.<\/p>\n

As a government hospital, we do not turn away any maternity cases at Mbuya Nehanda Maternity Hospital. We ensure that everyone who comes is attended to.<\/p>\n

Under normal circumstances, as a referral hospital, we are supposed to attend to complicated cases while simpler cases are attended to at municipal level.<\/p>\n

He said the ideal nurse-to-patient ratio in the labour ward is 1:1, but that was not attainable currently due to a high turnover of midwives.<\/p>\n
