Description

On 6 April, 2012, Zimbabwe's Health and Child Welfare Minister Dr. Henry Madzorera and China's Vice Minister of Commerce Chong Quan signed a grant agreement for the provision of 4.5 million RMB worth of neonatal equipment (See: China-Nation Sign Multi-Million-Dollar Deals and THE PROJECT FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF WATER SUPPLY, SEWAGE AND SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN CHITUNGWIZA IN THE REPUBLIC OF ZIMBABWE). It is unknown if the neonatal equipment was ever delivered to Zimbabwe. However, the Chinese Embassy in Zimbabwe did report in May 2012 that it had delivered a batch of neonatal resuscitation mannequins (See: Speech by H.E. Ambassador Mr. Xin Shunkang at the Seminar at SARDC).Other agreements signed at this time included a 31.5 million RMB agreement for provision of an outside broadcasting van for the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (recorded in project #30639), an ETCA worth RMB 80 million for unspecified purposes (recorded in project #30260), and a loan agreement worth 1.025 billion RMB for upgrading the Victoria Falls Airport (recorded in project #30137).
