Chinese medical experts attending to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga have completed extensive tests and are now beginning treatment, President Mnangagwa has said.

In a statement yesterday, President Mnangagwa revealed that VP Chiwenga’s condition remains “remarkably stable”.

VP Chiwenga last month left South Africa, where he was receiving treatment, for China.
The transfer followed a decision by Zimbabwe and China to allow Chinese experts to join fellow experts in Zimbabwe, South Africa and India in attending to the Vice President.

“Further to my communication last month updating the nation on the condition of our Vice President, Dr CGDN Chiwenga, I wish to add that the Vice President has now completed extensive tests required by the Chinese medical team attending to him, thus paving way for the commencement of actual treatment.”

President Mnangagwa promised to continue keeping the nation posted on VP Chiwenga’s health, but said he would do so while observing respect for patient confidentiality.
