Highrange Property Developers in partnership with Health Ambassadors for ED has embarked on a residential project to alleviate accommodation challenges for healthcare workers in Zimbabwe.
The project which started through a request by Health Ambassadors for Economic Development to the President and First Secretary of ZANU PF, His Excellency Cde Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, has indeed come to fruition.
Speaking during a press conference held in Harare, Dr. Joram Gumbo, the Special Advisor to the President on Monitoring and Implementation of Government Programmes and Projects, encouraged the partners to effectively implement President Mnangagwa’s vision of an upper middle income society by 2030.
"You now know where we are regarding the project of residential stands. We met the last time, and we announced that Health Ambassadors for Economic Development had been allocated stands in Harare. The bulk of these stands will go to the Developer. My prayer is that as an association, you sit down and agree as to how you will allocate those stands amongst your membership it must be done professionally. His Excellency, President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa's mantra and vision 2030 must be achieved. He is excited that the request you made has come to fruition so that as you attend to the sick you are accommodated very well as shelter is one of the most important things," Cde Gumbo said.
