津巴布韦拖延癌症治疗机器, 原因是尽管募集了资金, 却未支付30%的治疗费用, Zimbabwe delays cancer treatment machines due to unmet 30% payment, despite funds collected, risking lives.

津巴布韦的Parirenyatwa医院和Mpilo医院仍然缺乏癌症治疗机,因为尽管签订了合同,到2024年12月从糖税中收取了3 030万美元,但财政部推迟支付2 750万美元。 Zimbabwe’s Parirenyatwa and Mpilo hospitals still lack cancer treatment machines due to a delayed $27.5 million payment from the Treasury, despite contracts being signed and $30.3 million collected from a sugar tax by December 2024. 卫生部卫生部长Douglas Mombeshora证实,财政部尚未发放所要求的30%的存款,采购开始后三年内拖延交货。 Health Minister Douglas Mombeshora confirmed the Ministry of Finance has not released the required 30% deposit, stalling delivery over three years after procurement began. 供应商承诺在36周内安装,有可能在2025年12月前投入运营。 Suppliers promise installation within 36 weeks, potentially enabling operation by December 2025. 由于每年有3 000多癌症死亡和直肠切除病例增加,延误凸显出保健供资和问责制方面的系统性问题。 With over 3,000 annual cancer deaths and rising colorectal cases, delays highlight systemic issues in healthcare funding and accountability.
