the total number of suspected cholera as of 18 November at 6,072 with 294 deaths. Zimbabwe's own government has reported fewer deaths, putting the figure at 90.
The country's Association of Doctors for Human Rights highlighted the dire state of a health service once widely admired in Africa.
"Our health delivery system, previously the envy of many developing countries, is now teetering on the verge of virtual collapse," it said.
"Sick people in need of medical attention are being turned away from Zimbabwe's hospitals and clinics."
Cholera-sufferers would be "coming to hospital to die because there is nobody to care for anyone"
So, why is it that after many years of charity donations and the like, that there is suddenly this outbreak.
Surely someone must have seen this potential hazard?
The WHO must have had some idea as to what was going on, or is it all part of yet another 'conspiratorial' dastardly plan to eradicate several thousand people in order to gain 'something'.
hoped food would soon be made available under the Reserve Bank's programme to ensure Zimbabweans had basic commodities.
Food! FOOD!... it's not food they need, its clean water and an approach by someone who cares about their environment and the plight of others. If these areas have seen Cholera outbreaks before, why, just why has nothing been done to ensure that it does not happen again.
Does it take a rocket scientist to decide that a clean water solution must be implemented?
