Exciting Developments in Harare: New Polyclinic Set to Transform Local Healthcare
The City of Harare is on the brink of a significant upgrade to its healthcare infrastructure! Construction is in full swing for a new polyclinic located in the vibrant suburb of Marlborough, marking a pivotal moment for local residents in the Harare West Constituency. This ambitious project, which has successfully completed its foundation, is poised to enhance the wellbeing of the community by providing essential health services, including affordable maternity care.
What makes this polyclinic truly special is that it will not just be another health facility but will also include a dedicated maternity wing, making it the largest of its kind in the area. In a noteworthy move, Marlborough will be the first low-density suburb to feature a polyclinic, heralding a new era in accessible healthcare. Additionally, the project encompasses the construction of a fire station and an Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centre, showcasing a comprehensive approach to community development.
The new fire station will significantly improve emergency response times in the north-western suburbs, an area previously lacking such vital services. According to City of Harare health director, Dr. Prosper Chonzi, the polyclinic will fundamentally reshape healthcare delivery in Marlborough. He enthusiastically stated, “This polyclinic will change the landscape of healthcare in Marlborough, providing much-needed services to residents who cannot afford private healthcare.”
The polyclinic is set to go beyond just public health services; it will also offer affordable private healthcare options. The city plans to invite specialist doctors, including orthopaedics and general physicians, who will utilize the available theater and admission facilities for a modest fee. This model, successful in central hospitals, aims at ensuring the facility’s financial sustainability while meeting community needs.
Ward 41 Councillor Kudzai Kadzombe has also confirmed that the construction is progressing on schedule, reiterating the facility’s commitment to equipping advanced health services for all community members. “This facility will provide advanced equipment and services for our community, making healthcare more accessible for everyone,” she stated.
With these developments, Marlborough is set to become a beacon of community health services in Harare, responding to the pressing needs of its residents while promoting wellness and quality of life. This ambitious project is a testament to the city’s dedication to improving healthcare access and service delivery for all its citizens.
