Health Minister, Dr David Parirenyatwa has confirmed that
there were no fatalities at yesterday’s explosion in Bulawayo. But some of the
injured required “serious surgery”.
“We have 25 people at Mpilo, 12 at Mater Dei and four at
UBH, giving us a total of 41 who have so far approached our health institutions
complaining of injuries.
“Some had, however, previously gone home and later
discovered that they wanted to be assisted and are coming in. We will therefore
have a consolidated figure (today) but so far that is the figure we have. We
have no fatalities so far,” said Dr Parirenyatwa.
Dr Parirenyatwa went on: “Some (of the injured) require
serious surgery and I think these are the ones who were close to where the
blast occurred, but some are not serious. Some can be treated and discharged,”
he said.
