Zimbabwe signs deals with pharmaceuticals in Egypt

The Zimbabwe government has struck a deal with 10 pharmaceutical companies from Egypt to provide medicine to the country’s hospitals, Finance and Economic Development Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube has said.

Prof Ncube revealed this on Wednesday during the 2023 National Chiefs Conference in Bulawayo in response to concerns raised by traditional leaders over a shortage of drugs in rural clinics.

Prof Ncube said Government was addressing the problem and has engaged Egypt over the supply of medicine to the country’s hospitals and clinics.
