St Michael’s 24-Hour Accident and Emergency Clinic has been opened. Located in the middle of Seke’s Unit N high-density residential area the hospital — a brainchild of Dr Patrick Chihumbiri and his wife Violet — opened its doors to the public in December of 2009. “There is a huge demand for consistent quality health care services and this clinic has geared itself to meet the challenge. “The clinic endeavours to give the best to those in this community and beyond,” said the University of Zimbabwe graduate general medical practitioner, Dr Chihumbiri. He said the need for more health institutions in the town was realised during the 2008 cholera outbreak which claimed more than 4 000 people throughout the country, with Chitungwiza being the second largest epicentre. “We think our contribution to society is beginning to be felt because at the moment the X-ray machines at the general hospital are not working and patients are coming here for the service. “Others getting service from general practitioners are also coming here for further investigations such as ultra-sound scans and x-rays,” Dr Chihumbiri said.
