SPEECH BY THE MINISTER OF HEALTH AND CHILD CARE ON THE OCCASION OF THE PARIRENYATWA GROUP OF HOSPITALS CUSTOMER CARE CHAMPIONSHIP AWARDS – 2019

I feel greatly honored to officiate at this unique and very special occasion. Very special in the sense that this is the first time that we are witnessing real integration of customer care principles in patient care.

For a long time, we have not had real efforts towards ensuring that patients and their relatives are treated as customers in a hospital. On 10 December 2018, my Ministry launched the Customer Care Program and the First Lady of the Republic of Zimbabwe was the Guest of Honor at that important event. I want to see customer care taking center-stage in the way we handle patients.
