Grant Recipient:
Zimbabwe Association of Church related Hospitals (ZACH)

Grant Purpose:
Health indicators continue to deteriorate in Zimbabwe - Life expectancy has dropped, levels of malnutrition (especially among the under five), maternal mortality and crude death rate have increased. This project will support the delivery of quality health care services in a constrained environment by enhancing the institutional and management capacity of the Zimbabwe Association of Church related Hospitals (ZACH) and mission hospitals/clinics.
