A HEALTH centre in Murewa South constituency has finally opened its doors to villagers after lying idle for more than 20 years.
Wuyuwuyu Clinic was officially commissioned in 2002 by the then Health minister Timothy Stamps (now late).
It remained idle as there were no medical personnel and drugs to serve the community.
Its dilapidated infrastructure forced authorities and the community to mobilise resources to rebuild it.
“We are happy that this clinic is now up and running after being idle since 2002. This is a gift for the community and Murewa district at large,” Murewa South legislator Noah Mangondo told NewsDay.
“It was a long journey, but we are happy that finally the clinic is now serving its purpose.
“We thank all those who made this dream possible from the community, local authority and government.”
There was wild joy and jubilation during the commissioning of the clinic as villagers welcomed the much awaited development.

Speaking at the reopening of the clinic, Mashonaland East Provincial Affairs and Devolution minister Itayi Nduzo said villagers deserved access to primary healthcare services.
“This clinic was once officially opened in 2002 but did not function as anticipated,” Ndudzo said.
“But today, we have gathered again, and as a government we ensure that this clinic officially opens.”
Provincial medical director Paul Matsvimbo unveiled nurses who will be stationed at the clinic.
