Outbreak summary Since Aug 2008, some 56 districts (on 62) have experienced cases at one point in time. At the end of week 7 (14 Feb 09), the total number of cases reported since the start reached 75,786 cases and 3,615 deaths. From 08-14 Feb 09, a total of 7,458 suspected cholera cases were reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) through the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare's (MoHCW) surveillance department. This weekly count represents an average of 1,065 new suspected cases reported per day and a 5.3% increase in caseload as compared to the prior week (7,081 cases week 6). A total of 217 deaths were also reported (average 31/day) representing a 0.9% decrease in the deaths count as compared to the prior week (219 deaths week 6). The weekly case-fatality ratio (CFR) 1, based on reported deaths and cases continues to decrease from 3.1% last week to 2.9 % this week whereas the institutional CFR decreased from 1.7% to 1.3%. The proportion of community deaths also remained stable at 44% this week. A total of 372 Cholera Treatment Centers (CTC) and Cholera Treatments Unit (CTU) have been reported to have been established at one point in time, of which 319 are believed to be active as of 14 Feb 2009. In addition to under reporting week 6 and 7, batch back reporting overlapping between week 6 and 7 challenges again trend interpretation. In conclusion, the epidemic is still not under control. The increase in trend observed week 7 could be the reflect of back reports compensating under reporting of the prior week. Still under reporting was significant also this week. Crude and institutional case fatality ratios and proportion of community deaths remain almost unchanged week 7. Adjustment of data for week 6 and 7 is needed to re-estimate trends. 1 the proportion of cases that die of the disease during the time period (here the week) Source: Ministry of Health and Child Welfare Rapid Disease Notification System 3 2. National Overview 2.1. Cases and deaths Suspected cholera cases continue to be reported from all 10 provinces. A total of 59 areas within 56 districts were affected so far (90% of 62 districts affected). Outbreaks are localized by province. Whereas week 6 had seen low reporting level, week 7 experienced large numbers of batch reporting of cases for periods overlapping between week 6 and week 7. Follow-up is needed with the provinces and districts in order to reattribute cases to their week of occurrence and allow analysis trends. From 08-14 Feb 09 (week 7) • 7,458 new suspected cholera cases were reported representing a 5.4% increase compared to week 6 (total case week 6 of 7,081. (Figure 1) • 217 new deaths were reported representing a 0.9 % decrease (219 deaths week 6). • The most affected provinces in terms of weekly caseload were Mashonaland Central (2,016), Manicaland (1,429), Mashonaland West (1,354) and Masvingo (1,306). • The overall number of cases reported from Harare Province was decreasing this week (figure 2) Figure 1 Figure 2 Cholera in Zimbabwe Cholera in Harare province, Zimbabwe 17 aug 08 to 14 Feb 09 17 aug 08 to 14 Feb 09 3,000 10,000 under reporting 2,500 8,000 cases 2,000 Cases deaths Deaths 6,000 1,500 cases 4,000 1,000 Number 500 2,000 0 0 w1 w2 w3 w4 w5 w6 w7 w34 w35 w36 w37 w38 w39 w40 w41 w42 w43 w44 w45 w46 w47 w48 w49 w50 w51 w52 w1 w2 w3 w4 w5 w6 w7 w34 w35 w36 w37 w38 w39 w40 w41 w42 w43 w44 w45 w46 w47 w48 w49 w50 w51 w52 weeks weeks Source: Ministry of Health and Child Welfare Rapid Disease Notification System 4 2.2. Mortality 2.2.1. Differential deaths count Community deaths are defined here as deaths suspected from cholera which occur outside of health facilities. The number of community deaths can reflect how well the population is being covered by the CTC/CTUs. However, interpretation of this figure must be made with caution since verbal autopsies are rarely done to confirm cause of death: some community deaths may not be caused by cholera. Reports of community deaths are not available from all provinces. This week, the percentage of community deaths increased from 44% last week to 55% (119/217) (table 1). Table 1.

  • Zimbabwe HIV Care and Treatment Project Baseline Assessment Report
    20 16 Zimbabwe HIV Care and Treatment Project Baseline Assessment Report '' CARG members in Chipinge meet for drug refill in the community. Photo Credits// FHI 360 Zimbabwe'' This study is made possible through the support of the American People through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID.) The contents are the sole responsibility of the Zimbabwe HIV care and Treatment (ZHCT) Project and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the U.S. Government. FOREWORD The Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ) through the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) is committed to strengthening the linkages between public health facilities and communities for HIV prevention, care and treatment services provision in Zimbabwe. The Ministry acknowledges the complementary efforts of non-governmental organisations in consolidating and scaling up community based initiatives towards achieving the UNAIDS ‘90-90-90’ targets aimed at ending AIDS by 2030. The contribution by Family Health International (FHI360) through the Zimbabwe HIV Care and Treatment (ZHCT) project aimed at increasing the availability and quality of care and treatment services for persons living with HIV (PLHIV), primarily through community based interventions is therefore, lauded and acknowledged by the Ministry. As part of the multi-sectoral response led by the Government of Zimbabwe (GOZ), we believe the input of the ZHCT project will strengthen community-based service delivery, an integral part of the response to HIV. The Ministry of Health and Child Care however, has noted the paucity of data on the cascade of HIV treatment and care services provided at community level and the ZHCT baseline and mapping assessment provides valuable baseline information which will be used to measure progress in this regard.

  • ITB/ZWE30/2021/02442 for the Supply and Installation of Solar
    Invitation to Bid (ITB) Quotation For the supply and installation of solar equipment in Zimbabwe Reference No.: ITB/ZWE30/2021/02442 1 SCHEDULE OF REQUIREMENTS UN Women in Zimbabwe is supporting the establishment of mobile Spotlight Knowledge Hubs (Converted 40ft- long shipping container (11.9m - length x 2.23m - width x 2.5m - height: interior) into an office / Communication hub with 10 workstations and library) on SGBV, VAWG and SRHR as well as Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment issues in general to provide a foundation for the development of critical gender and women's rights research, including feminist research. The mobile Spotlight Knowledge Hubs are expected to increase the number of women’s rights groups and relevant CSOs using knowledge products developed by UN Women and other participating UN agencies in the design of their own programmes on VAWG, including SGBV/HP, and on women and girls’ SRHR. They are also expected to support the training of women in business (including beneficiaries of the Spotlight Safe Markets) and girls on financial literacy and digital literacy respectively. In its physical form, each mobile Spotlight Knowledge Hub will be mainly composed of a library and a computer lab made out of a converted shipping container. UN Women is therefore seeking quotations for the supply and installation of Solar Equipment that will be used in ten (10) Spotlight Knowledge Hub units located at ZIMPOST OFFICES in Karoi (Mashonaland West Province), Epworth (Harare province), Maphisa (Matabeleland South Province) ,Chipinge (Manicaland Province), Mutasa, (Manicaland Province) , Umzingwane (Matabeleland South Province),Hopely, Tariro Youth Centre (Harare Province), Hurungwe, (Mashonaland West Province), Rushinga Post Office: (Mashonaland Central Province) and Guruve, Post Office: (Mashonaland Central Province).
