In a development that will bring a sigh of relief to the general populace in the province, Masvingo Provincial Hospital’s X-ray laboratory is now fully equipped and functional.
The hospital’s Public Relations Officer Chioniso Gono told TellZim News that the laboratory is now in full scale operation and patients no longer need to go to private health institutions where they are charged exorbitant fees.
She said the laboratory was not functional because of a number of challenges including unavailability of the film for the scans.
“We want to advice members of the public that our laboratory which has not been functional for some time is now in full operation to offer x-ray services. There had been some shortages of some equipment and mostly film,” said Gono
The hospital recently made headlines for having only one Blood Pressure testing machine but they went on to refute the allegations saying the hospital was well equipped to that regard.
Gono said each and every department had its own BP machine contrary to the reports that wet round a few week ago.
