The Chimoio Provincial Hospital, in Manica province, is facing a shortage of plaster and laboratory reagents, according to "Notícias".

This scenario has made it difficult to care for the patients who have come to this health unit in search of the best health care.

But because there are no resources, many citizens have been forced to turn to the private sector for treatment and tests.

The health authorities in Manica promise to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

It is worth remembering that the lack of this resource for care is not new. Last year, the Central Hospital in Nampula also faced the same scenario.

At the time, the hospital had to resort to using cardboard to treat patients due to a lack of plaster.
