ZANU PF Second Secretary and Vice President Cde Kembo C.D. Mohadi is in Moscow, Russia to turn the Zimbabwe-Russia Health MoU into tangible results — factories, medicines and doctors. 

During his visit, he emphasised that Zimbabwe is "not interested in piles of documents, but delivery."

Zimbabwe already has medical students training in Russia, and Vice President Mohadi made it clear that Zimbabwe wants partnership, not imports. 

He said: "We would want them to come down and establish companies, come and partner us in the production of essential drugs."

The visit follows His Excellency, President Cde Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa's call at the Russia-Africa Summit to move agreements "from paper to practical projects."

This move also advances ZANU PF Conference resolutions on industrialisation and health for all under NDS2 and Vision 2030.

ZANU PF Vice President Dr K.C.D. Mohadi and his delegation toured a pharmaceutical manufacturing company in St Petersburg, where he assessed areas of potential partnership in the medical field.

During the tour, the Vice President said Zimbabwe is taking a big step forward in the fight against cancer, having already procured cancer diagnostic machines, and is now working to bring treatment closer to every community.

"We want more," Vice President Mohadi said, expressing confidence that the partnership would deliver better care at home.

"We need to provide the treatment that is required there and then," he said, through decentralised care, new technology and new expertise.”
