Zimbabwe Health Interventions (ZHI) is a leading organization that specializes in Health Systems strengthening, providing invaluable expertise and support to the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MOHCC) in Zimbabwe. With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by the healthcare system, ZHI plays a vital role in enhancing the overall health infrastructure in the country.

At the national level, ZHI actively collaborates with the MOHCC in the development and review of health policies, strategies, and guidelines. They work closely with key stakeholders to ensure the rational deployment of national-level resources, ensuring that they are utilized effectively and efficiently. ZHI’s contribution to policy development has been instrumental in shaping the healthcare landscape in Zimbabwe.

One of ZHI’s notable achievements is their support in updating guidelines for HIV Prevention, Testing, and Treatment in Zimbabwe. By staying at the forefront of medical advancements and best practices, ZHI ensures that the HIV guidelines are in line with the latest international standards. This commitment to continuous improvement extends to other critical areas such as the Operational Service Delivery Manual (OSDM) and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Guidelines, among others.

ZHI’s impact is not limited to the national level alone. At the provincial level, they play a crucial role in facilitating the translation of policies into implementation. This ensures that the policies and guidelines developed at the national level are effectively put into practice across different regions. ZHI’s expertise in project management and implementation allows for the expedited rollout of new guidelines, minimizing delays and maximizing the benefits to the healthcare system.

To ensure the successful implementation of these guidelines, ZHI places great emphasis on building the capacity of healthcare workers at all levels. By providing mentorship, site support supervision, and conducting data quality audits, ZHI ensures that health workers are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to deliver high-quality care. This commitment to implementation fidelity is essential in achieving improved health outcomes and ensuring that the guidelines are followed consistently.
