The level of grime at state hospitals has reached an alarming level with residents in Bulawayo alleging that hospitals in the city are now infested with rodents that feed on corpses in mortuaries. It came to light that the mortuaries are a breeding ground for rodents as the morgues are largely dysfunctional due to rampant power cuts and unavailability of supplementary sources of electricity like generators and solar panels. Recently, a Bulawayo man who had been admitted at Mpilo Referral Hospital died after having reported that rodents had been eating away his right arm. It is still unclear as to whether the man died from the bites or the ailment that brought him into the hospital in the first place. However, the man’s family is appalled by the situation and calling on the authorities to restore the health sector to its previous status of being one of the best in the region.
