Access to care in Zimbabwe
At Zimbabwe medical care is officially available to all. In practice, however, access to that care is anything but obvious - especially in rural areas, including around Victoria Falls.
There are state hospitals and local clinics, but these often struggle with:
- shortages of medicines and medical materials
- limited diagnostic capability
- a shortage of doctors and specialized personnel
Much care is possible only if patients pay for it yourself for medicine, surgery or transportation to a larger hospital. For many families, this is simply unaffordable.
The facts at a glance
- In rural areas, people sometimes run 10 to 30 kilometers to a clinic
- Local clinics often have no doctor, only a nurse
- Medications and surgeries usually need to be in advance in cash be paid
- Without payment, treatment often fails, even for serious complaints.
- So where sometimes it can also be a matter of life and death.
That means care is there - but not accessible to everyone.
What does that mean for people?
A broken arm that won't be operated on.
An infection that continues to linger.
A pregnant woman receiving late care.
Not because someone doesn't want help.
But because access to care costs money.
What our help makes possible
The Moyo Care Foundation helps exactly where it gets stuck: at access.
With donations, we can:
- necessary medication reimburse
- operations enable
- transport arrange to hospital
- temporary field clinics support in rural areas
Often these are relatively small amounts that make the difference for people on the ground between continuing to suffer or recovering.
A concrete difference
When someone can be helped:
- pain disappears
- can someone work again
- a family remains intact
- perspective arises again
Our help is not abstract support, but direct and human.
Together we make care accessible
We believe that medical care should not be a luxury.
With your support, we will ensure that people in Zimbabwe on time be helped - not just when it's too late.
Thank you for contributing to care that matters. 💛
How we work
At Moyo Care Foundation, we believe in help that really arrives. That is why we work closely with local health professionals who know the situation inside out. Our local contact in Zimbabwe is Dr. H. Ranganai, affiliated with the Chinotimba Medical Center (CMC) in Victoria Falls.
Dr. Ranganai is not only a doctor, but also our link to the community. Requests for medical assistance go through him. He carefully assesses the situation and estimates the need and cost of treatment or medication. His experience allows him to quickly sense whether someone really needs help, for example, when a patient requires recurring care or has no safety net.
All applications are reviewed and checked by the local representative and/or physician. This is to keep it as transparent as possible.
This working method ensures short lines of communication, clear communication and maximum impact. Thus, we provide customized care exactly where it is needed.

- Improving access to essential medical care for people in rural areas around Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
