BEITBRIDGE (NewsDay Live) Feb. 16 - Harare-based Discovery Ambulances has transferred to Harare five of the 56 survivors of Beitbridge accident which claimed 25 lives last week.
Elliot Chivige who is practitioner in charge of the crew that came with two disaster ambulances said his organisation would assume all medical bills, the transport costs and any outstanding bills of the five who they picked up Sunday evening from the local hospital.
"We are responding to government ‘s call for access to health for all and that Zimbabweans are responsible for the development of their country. We have come to pick these five so they are closer to their relatives in Harare," he said.
Beitbridge Mayor Peter Mafuta Pirato thanked Discovery Ambulance Services for relieving the Beitbridge Hospital which he said had been stretched to its limit.
"We also appeal to government to upgrade Beitbridge Hospital which has since handled more than a district hospital should," he said.
