Swine Flu cases reported in Zimbabwe – Are we prepared to deal with the pandemic?

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has called for emergency funding to help the country combat swine flu. His call comes after five students contracted the disease in Mutare. Health minister Henry Madzorera told a news conference that “An outbreak of pandemic influenza A(H1N1) occurred in Mutare at a private school in early August, the ages of the children ranged from 5 to 10 years”

“The recent outbreak of swine flu calls for national emergency funding to respond,” Tsvangirai told a doctors conference in Harare.

“We don’t want a repeat of the cholera experience of last year,” Tsvangirai said

Meanwhile Prime Minister Tsvangirai has called on striking doctors to return to work, saying the government was trying to address their concerns.

“I also urge those health professionals who have embarked on industrial action to recognise the efforts of the ministry of health and the Health Service Board,” he said.

“I am confident that, as Zimbabwe gets back on its feet, we will all benefit.” Tsvangirai added.

Has the government learnt anything from the cholera epidemic which killed thousands of Zimbabweans? Have they address the problems which resulted in the deaths of so many Zimbabweans? What have they done to prepare for the swine flu infections? Thoughts of another pandemic in our trouble country frighten me, as thousands of people are likely to die if emergency action is not taken as a matter of urgency.

Feel free to share your views.

Pictures from Parirenyatwa Hospital as Doctors strike continues

A patient is taken home on a stretcher by his relatives from Parirenyatwa hospital’s accident and emergency ward in the capital Harare August 21, 2009. State doctors, who earn a basic wage of $170, started a job boycott last week demanding $1,000 per month, paralysing operations at the country’s four major hospitals in Harare and Bulawayo.

A passer-by looks at a woman lying outside the Parirenyatwa hospital in the capital Harare August 21, 2009. Reuters reports that the woman was unable to receive medical attention at the hospital because of the doctors strike going on there.

Would you watch an exhibition of Corpse Sex?

Anatomist Dr Gunther von Hagen is to unveil his latest exhibition showing two corpses having sex. The sex couple will be shown at The o2′s Body Worlds exhibition in London.

It is said to have caused a furore when it was exhibited in Germany, but von Hagens says he received hundreds of messages urging him to bring the exhibit to London. The man and women are said to have been consenting donors and agreed to be used to ‘highlight human reproduction’.

This kind of thing makes me sick, I wouldn’t pay to watch anything like that because even the thought of it makes me sick. So why would somebody come up with such an idea?? Would you watch an exhibition like that??? If NO, any reason?

Why man’s mind turn to jelly over a pretty face

Is it really true that man go silly when they see a pretty face? Well, research has shown that, chatting to good looking women has an immediate and damaging effect on man’s intelligence.

Man’s instinct to show off during conversations – lying or exaggerating and lust for women after they have left ties up their brains and leaves them less likely to think straight.
So, Pretty women make man go silly?? What about women when they see a handsome man?? I bet they maybe even worse than man. Women do lust after man and they also try to impress man. Feel free to post your comments.

Is it okay for women to breastfeed in public?

First let me say, every baby has got a right to be given food when hungry. Now is it alright for women to breastfeed in public?? If not why is it not right for women to give the baby milk whenever the baby is hungry?

There has been a lot of debate on this issue. Myself I don’t see anything wrong, maybe because were I come from women breastfeed in public. So what do you think about breastfeeding in public??

Project to turn human waste into gas energy

‘Poo Power’ – A £4.3 million project to turn human waste into gas energy has been launched in Manchester, UK and could be ready by 2011 according to a report in the Metro.

The biogas byproduct of sewage treatment could be enough to power 5 000 homes. United Utilities is said to have secured government funding to provide human waste gas energy to the people of Manchester. Bio-methane can be compressed for use in vehicles or injected in the gas grid. If funding could be secured, this is the type of project that could help in Zimbabwe. Especially at a time the government is strugling to raise money to pay fower electricity imports.

Zimbabwe cholera case expected to reach 100 000

The number of cholera cases in Zimbabwe is expected to reach 100 00 this week according to the Red Cross. Even though the infection rate has slowed, the causes of the cholera epidemic have not been fixed.

The cholera outbreak has been fueled by Zimbabwe’s poor water, sanitation and the collapsed health system.

In a report, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRCS) warned that unless these factors such as food insecurity, sanitation and health infrastructure were addressed, further cholera outbreaks were inevitable.

However it is important to note that our government of national unity has made infrastructure rehabilitation a top priority. It will take time and cost a lot of money, but at least they are doing something about it and that’s when we need donor aid and also foreign investment.

Hope the government will continue to work towards rebuilding the country and creating an environment conducive for business and one which attracts foreign investment.
