Zimbabwe Network for Health – Europe

ZimHealth is a non-governmental, non-profit association, registered in Geneva and established by Zimbabweans living in Europe to mobilise financial, material and human resources to support health services in Zimbabwe.

ZimHealth is administered by an Executive Committee of volunteers and pays neither administrative nor operating costs. All donations received go towards the procurement of clinical, surgical and other commodities for the purpose of refurbishment of clinics in Zimbabwe.

Zimbabweans in the diaspora, as individuals, have shown tremendous willingness and generosity to contribute to the health and welfare of family and friends in Zimbabwe. Collectively, this contribution can achieve more by providing not only for family and friends but also for fellow countrymen and women back home.

ZimHealth unites Zimbabweans from all walks of life in order to mobilise resources which are urgently required to revive and sustain health services in Zimbabwe.

 

Our Vision

To act as an apolitical, non-partisan network that links Zimbabweans, benefactors and beneficiaries so as to restore quality health services, easily accessible to all, in Zimbabwe.

 

 

Our objectives

Inform, educate and communicate the status and needs of the Zimbabwe public health delivery system to all Zimbabweans in Switzerland and the rest of Europe, as well as to the European public.
Raise funds and other support from individuals in Switzerland and the rest of Europe and from private corporations and international, multi-lateral and bilateral agencies.
Distribute equitably funds and materials to health services in all provinces and districts of Zimbabwe, as far as resources allow.
