A shocking scandal has rocked Mutare-Sakubva District Hospital's eye unit, where a whistleblower has revealed that medication meant for over 400 patients has gone missing.
The unit, which operates on just 12 patients weekly, had stockpiled medication during a 6-month renovation shutdown from March to August, but upon resuming duty, the stash was found to be short.
The finger points to the District Medical Officer (DMO) and a pharmacist, who allegedly colluded to siphon drugs for resale to pharmacies and other medical practitioners.
When confronted, the pharmacist reportedly admitted guilt, returning some medication and naming the DMO as an accomplice.
The pharmacist claims they had a deal to cover each other's tracks, but the DMO allegedly threw him under the bus when things got hot.
The fallout's been huge, patients are suffering big time. Surgeries are being postponed left, right and centre and people are being shortchanged. It's a real mess.
