Bridging the Health Gap, Single Phase


Bridging the Health Gap aims to improve equitable access to quality primary health care for vulnerable  populations in Zimbabwe by strengthening diagnostic services,  non-communicable disease (NCD) care and service delivery for maternal, neonatal and mental health. The Single-Phase project supports the public sector in nine  districts through a localisation approach aligned with Zimbabwe’s health strategy and SDC priorities. Partners include the City of Harare, Solidarmed and Hand in Hand Zimbabwe.

Il progetto in breve
Contesto Zimbabwe’s health system is under severe train from economic crises, underfunding, and climate change, leaving rural and urban poor  communities  with limited access to quality care. Shortages of staff, medicines, and  equipment  drive high maternal and neonatal mortality,  while  rising NCDs  and neglected  mental health - such as widespread postpartum depression - add pressure. Weak governance further undermines accountability,  highlighting the need for  integrated, resilient, and well- governed services. 
Obiettivi To strengthen equitable access to quality primary health care services for marginalised populations in Zimbabwe by enhancing diagnostic capacity,  improving maternal, neonatal, mental health and NCD services, and building the institutional capabilities of the public sector.
Gruppi target Women, Children under five years, Adolescents and youth, People living with or at risk of NCDs, Low-income households and residents of high-density urban and  remote rural communities, Local health workers and health managers,
