Hopefully the WHO doctors have access to a time machine to fix this error ...

What a bunch of idiots. I hope they haven't spent any of the bribe money yet as he'll be wanting it back.

I agree - I wondered about
Teodoros was not elected ( early reports) but appointed
and I just wondered if there was a little - Zim will vote for you Theo and there is just one little thing the president would like.....

depressing that Teo was appointed to sort out the WHO
oops - and the first thing he does is appoint one of his pals

and one for playbill

our technical journal had an exciting "letter from Zim" feature
Exciting and inspiring tales from a third world health system and their endless struggle to improve health care after the slavery and exploitation of the Smith years and the economic marxist paradise that held sway under Mugabe

After a year or so we learnt that the indices of health were lower than they had been in 1965. Not many junior doctors here had heard of UDI and all That and NIBMAR and so on.

the final one a few years ago was that there were no drugs for operations - and that they were closing the Hospital as no one thought they were doing any good
