Council’s plans to turn Carter House into a state of the art maternity Hospital are at an advanced stage with Mayor Jacob Mafume meeting Church of Christ Jesus of Latter-Day Saints representatives who are keen to partner the City of Harare in revamping the facility.
Mayor Mafume who was accompanied by Health Services director, Dr Prosper Chonzi, Ward 19 Cllr Munyaradzi Kufahakutizwi and council officials toured Carter House with Elder and Sister Peterson of the Church.
Mayor said the facility will in future not only focus on maternity services but will offer other specialized medical care to become a medical village.
“The facility can grow into something else once we equip it and transform its status to that of a district hospital. What we need to do is create a medical multi-health facility with shopping centres with a bias towards medical and healthcare,” said Mayor Mafume.
He added; “We want to renew Mbare so that it becomes beneficial to the community. What we want is to have a value enhancement strategy.
“Council and the church must jointly renovate Carter House in the way that is beneficial to the community. Residents must feel that they are part of the facility hence the need not to exclude it.”
He also spoke on the need to modernize Mbare Musika Bus Termini.
