Japanese ambassador to Zimbabwe Yoshi Tendai Hiraishi and Wild4life country director Alfred Chingono signed the agreement in Harare yesterday.
Hiraishi said under the grant, Lukosi Rural Hospital main wards would be rehabilitated, while a new maternal waiting home and toilet block would be constructed. The hospital will also get borehole equipment to improve water supplies.
Hiraishi said Milonga Clinic will also get a new maternal waiting home.
He said Lukosi Hospital had been failing to meet expecting mothers’ needs due to insufficient capacity of the maternity waiting homes while lack of a maternity home at Milonga Clinic forced expecting mothers to walk long distances to shelters at other health institutions.
Hiraishi said Japan had assisted St Patrick’s Mission Hospital in Hwange for the construction of a rehabilitation centre.
