Motivation Behind the Petition for Public Healthcare in Zimbabwe – Linda Tsungirirai Masarira



The motivation behind this petition stems from the painful reality that more than 60% of Zimbabweans are dying prematurely due to lack of access to basic healthcare. Our current system is unaffordable, understaffed, and under-resourced, pushing millions especially the elderly, people with chronic illnesses, women, children, and persons with disabilities to suffer in silence or turn to unsafe alternatives.

This petition is a call to action demanding that the Government of Zimbabwe make basic healthcare free and accessible for all, and urgently introduce universal free treatment for chronic and cancer patients, as well as emergency care for accident and GBV survivors. We believe that access to healthcare is a human right, not a privilege reserved for the wealthy or connected.

Every well-meaning Zimbabwean should sign this petition to stand in solidarity with the most vulnerable among us. It’s a collective push for a dignified, humane, and inclusive healthcare system that truly serves the people. If we don’t speak up now, we risk losing more lives to preventable causes.
