St Anne’s Hospital in Harare, will be a Covid-19 response
centre for at least three months following an agreement on Saturday between the
Catholic Sisters of the Little Company of Mary (LCM), the owners of the
hospital and the trustees of Solidarity Trust Zimbabwe.
The joint venture establishes the St Anne’s Hospital
Covid-19 Response Centre to assist and complement Government’s preparedness and
response plan released last month by the Ministry of Health and Child Care.
The agreement can be extended beyond three months. The new response centre will deal with the public and
health personnel at the forefront of dealing with Covid-19 patients in need of
middle-line and high-care nursing and will be run by a seven-member board of
representatives from the sisters and the solidarity trust, including members of
the medical fraternity.
It will start operating this month and when
fully-functional will have 100 beds catering for high dependency and intensive
care patients.
