Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Chipinge District Hospital has been operating without an X-Ray machine for almost five months now.<\/p>\n

According to The Manica Post, the hospital\u2019s X-Ray machine broke down in April and patients seeking X-Ray services are being turned away.<\/p>\n

The digital machine reportedly broke down in April when the hospital was attending to Chimanimani Bus Disaster victims which claimed the lives of 43 Zion Church of Christ (ZCC) followers.<\/p>\n

Chipinge District Hospital receives at least 20 patients seeking X-Ray services daily but they are being referred to Victoria Chitepo Provincial Hospital in Mutare.<\/p>\n

Chipinge District Medical Officer, Dr Brian Makumbe confirmed the dire situation at the hospital. He said:<\/p>\n

Our X-Ray machine is not working. The part that broke down is very expensive to replace.<\/p>\n

The money we are receipting is not enough to repair or buy the new part.<\/p>\n

We are engaging our superiors to have this issue addressed.<\/p>\n

Chipinge District Hospital\u2019s catchment area is quite huge, covering Chipinge rural, Birchenough Bridge, Rusitu and neighbouring Mozambique.<\/p>\n

A patient, Tenson Semwayo, told The Manica Post that he had to fork out US$40 at a private surgery in Mutare to access X-Ray services after travelling all the way from Manzvire in Chipinge South last week.<\/p>\n

He implored authorities to urgently repair the X-Ray machine at Chipinge District Hospital.<\/p>\n
