The country’s largest private medical aid society, health and wellness service provider, Cimas Health Group continues to embrace innovative models to improve ways of service delivery in the health sector.
In a groundbreaking development, Cimas recently acquired a mobile clinic, a customised motor vehicle that will be staffed by a combination of health experts to bring essential healthcare services on wheels directly to communities in need.
The Cimas mobile clinic was showcased at the just ended Zimbabwe Agricultural Society (ZAS) in Harare.
An internationally recognised exhibition where industrial and agricultural trends, ideas, and innovative products are unveiled, this year’s show was held under the theme, “Cultivating Prosperity: Growing Business. Innovating for Change. Nurturing our Future”.
Cimas Health Group Chief Executive Officer Mr Vulindlela Ndlovu said acquiring the mobile clinic underscores the group’s commitment to providing global standard health and wellness solutions regardless of their location or circumstances.
“In today’s fast-paced world, access to quality healthcare is of utmost importance and as Cimas continues to be innovative in the health sector, we purchased a mobile clinic in our efforts to improve the accessibility of health services,” Mr Ndlovu said.
“This mobile clinic is a transformative tool in the healthcare delivery system as it revolutionises the way medical services are provided. It brings healthcare directly to communities, regardless of their location or infrastructure limitations.”
Through the mobile clinic, Mr Ndlovu said they seek to take health services delivery to underserved populations, and areas with limited or reduced healthcare infrastructure.
“Our mobile clinic will be used to provide a wide range of services that can be tailored to specific needs of the populations thereby bringing healthcare directly to communities in need,” he noted.
“Using this mobile clinic will help us expand our efforts to deliver health care to less privileged societies as the mobile clinic will be used to cater for a wide range of healthcare needs, including preventive care, vaccinations, health education, and primary healthcare services.”
Mr Ndlovu further noted that by operating this mobile clinic, Cimas can bridge the healthcare gap and ensure that even the most vulnerable populations can receive the medical attention they deserve.
“Strengthening health service delivery is crucial for Cimas and to the achievement of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which include the delivery of interventions to reduce child mortality and maternal mortality,” Ndlovu said.
