Zimbabwe’s Vice President and Minister for Health and Child Care, Dr Constantino Chiwenga has launched the Health Resilience Fund and three strategies set to improve the provision of health services to the people of the Southern African nation.
The Health Resilience Fund (HRF) is a pooled fund that is succeeding the Health Development Fund which ran from 2016 to 2022.
Dr. Chiwenga also launched the National Health Strategy (2021-2025), the Investment case for the NHS and Coordination framework for the health sector.
The HRF is expected to contribute to the improvement of health care for vulnerable mothers, newborns, children and adolescents.
The Fund will build on the gains of the HDF and address the remaining challenges to ensure access to maternal, child and sexual and reproductive health and nutrition services.
