Masvingo General Hospital will soon receive millions of dollars in aid money under a $130 million facility from the British Government, Deborah Bronnert, the new British Ambassador to Zimbabwe has told The Mirror.

Facilities at Masvingo have crumbled over the years to the extent that many lives were being lost unnecessarily at the hospital, administrators told Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai recently. Patients are being sent to receive certain critical services at smaller hospitals like Chiredzi because of the state of the hospital.
