Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals’ radiotherapy unit has resumed its operational services after a lengthy two-and-a-half-year shutdown due to the breakdown of machines.
Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals head of Radiology Department, Dr Nothando Mutizira confirmed the reopening of the unit, adding that the other two machines are expected to be operational soon to enable the unit to operate at full capacity.
“We are now getting radiotherapy services. I started getting radiotherapy services when they opened last week.
My request to the government is to add more machines because we have a lot of people suffering from cancer who require radiotherapy services,” said a patient, Kudakwashe Mbuva.

“I started my treatment on the 11th of March. So, this is my first time to get radiotherapy done. I am happy that the machines are now working, and we can get the services at affordable prices,” added a patient, Pamhidzai Zaranyika.
Meamwhile, Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals is the only source of hope for many Zimbabweans as many private hospitals charge fees that are beyond Zimbabweans.
