Zimbabwe Doctors Demand Urgent Equipment Delivery Amidst Sugar Tax Funds

The Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights (ZADHR) has issued a statement expressing concern over the delayed provision of critical cancer treatment equipment. Following the implementation of the Sugar Tax in 2023, the government pledged significant financial resources to support public health initiatives, totaling tens of millions of dollars. ZADHR asserts that two years have passed without the procurement of essential medical supplies, including diagnostic tools and medications. The organization is calling for immediate action to rectify this situation and ensure patients have access to timely cancer care within Zimbabwe.
