The Minister of Health and Child Care, Hon. Dr. Douglas Mombeshora, is expected to officially open the Ministry’s Review and Strategic Planning Meeting at the Golden Peacock Hotel in Mutare.
The five-day gathering, which runs from November 10 to 14, 2025, brings together senior officials, provincial representatives, and key stakeholders from across Zimbabwe’s health sector.
The meeting serves as a critical platform for assessing the Ministry’s performance over the past year, identifying gaps, and mapping out strategies to strengthen the delivery of health services nationwide.
It also provides an opportunity for the Ministry and its partners to align plans and priorities in line with the National Health Strategy and the broader goal of achieving universal access to quality healthcare.
Delegates are expected to review progress on key programmes including maternal and child health, disease prevention and control, health financing, infrastructure development, and human resources for health.
The discussions will also focus on strengthening data-driven planning and promoting innovation in service delivery, especially in the wake of evolving public health challenges.
The strategic meeting takes place at a time when Zimbabwe continues to pursue reforms aimed at revitalising the health system, improving efficiency, and ensuring equitable access to essential services under the “Health for All” agenda.
It will allow participants to share best practices, evaluate ongoing interventions, and explore partnerships that can enhance the country’s capacity to respond to emerging health needs.
Outcomes from the Mutare meeting are expected to shape the Ministry’s 2026 operational priorities and guide policy formulation in support of national and global health commitments.
The Review and Strategic Planning Meeting reaffirms the Ministry’s commitment to continuous improvement and collaboration as key drivers of a resilient and people-centred health system.
