2020</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">The study interrogates the preparedness capacity of the Zimbabwe Health Sector (ZHS) in managing the global pandemic. The historical background of the ZHS is presented in a chorological manner to show an appreciation of its rise. Documentary reviews and telephone interviews were at the core of the methodological framework. Literature from other nations such as China, Italy, Madagascar, South Africa and Rwanda was evaluated for juxtaposition purpose. The study found ZHS wanting in its awareness capacity, responsive and adaptive capacity, management and operations capacity and centralised approach. Corruption and international isolation are among the quagmires that ZHS is encountering. The research recommends that ZHS should disseminate awareness messages in all languages and strengthen radio coverage in remote areas, government should offer attractive remunerations and promote systematic training and development, there is need for ZHS to decentralise testing, government should strengthen ombudsman offices and government should reorient its relations.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"COVID-19 a Global Nightmare: Revamping the Zimbabwean Health Sector (ZHS) for Future Epidemic and Pandemic Management","attachmentId":63770069,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/43462464/COVID_19_a_Global_Nightmare_Revamping_the_Zimbabwean_Health_Sector_ZHS_for_Future_Epidemic_and_Pandemic_Management","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/43462464/COVID_19_a_Global_Nightmare_Revamping_the_Zimbabwean_Health_Sector_ZHS_for_Future_Epidemic_and_Pandemic_Management"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="8" data-entity-id="116036861" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/116036861/Community_perspectives_on_the_COVID_19_response_Zimbabwe">Community perspectives on the COVID-19 response, Zimbabwe</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="22961599" href="https://uz-ac.academia.edu/SimbarasheRusakaniko">Simbarashe Rusakaniko</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Bulletin of The World Health Organization, 2020</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Community perspectives on the COVID-19 response, Zimbabwe","attachmentId":112278802,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/116036861/Community_perspectives_on_the_COVID_19_response_Zimbabwe","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/116036861/Community_perspectives_on_the_COVID_19_response_Zimbabwe"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="9" data-entity-id="95994422" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/95994422/Hidden_variables_to_Covid_19_Zimbabwe">Hidden variables to Covid 19: Zimbabwe</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="247735998" href="https://independent.academia.edu/ChingonoF">Fortunate Chingono</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">2020</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">This article analyses the contributing variables to the spread of the Novel Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), in Zimbabwe. Guided by findings drawn from both primary and secondary sources the study considered the upsurge in local transmissions in Zimbabwe as influenced by social, political, religious, and economic factors. These factors were narrowed down to detailed issues which include porous and weak boarder security, a dysfunctional transport system, corruption at both local and central government level, traditional cultural beliefs, myths, government’s response and lockdown measures, stigmatization, poverty, social media, politics, weak infrastructure, and medical systems, refugee matters and the international or global perspective regarding Covid-19. Following the deep analysis of the various contributing elements the study recommended the drawing lessons from the 1918 Spanish Flue responses.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Hidden variables to Covid 19: Zimbabwe","attachmentId":98017628,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/95994422/Hidden_variables_to_Covid_19_Zimbabwe","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/95994422/Hidden_variables_to_Covid_19_Zimbabwe"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div></div></div><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--wrapper js-loswp-sticky-ctas hidden"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--grid-container"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--container"><button class="ds2-5-button js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"continue-reading-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":64038883,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}">See full PDF</button><button class="ds2-5-button ds2-5-button--secondary js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"download-pdf-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":64038883,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 20px" translate="no">download</span>Download PDF</button></div></div></div><div class="ds-below-fold--grid-container"><div class="ds-work--container js-loswp-embedded-document"><div class="attachment_preview" data-attachment="Attachment_64038883" style="display: none"><div class="js-scribd-document-container"><div class="scribd--document-loading js-scribd-document-loader" style="display: block;"><img alt="Loading..." src="//a.academia-assets.com/images/loaders/paper-load.gif" /><p>Loading Preview</p></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="scribd--no-preview-alert js-preview-unavailable"><p>Sorry, preview is currently unavailable.
