Fig 7: Beds for patients at the clinic and the consultation room at Whawha Young Offenders Prison ZHRC applauds ZPCS for setting up gardening and income generating projects to sustain the prisons. Most of the vegetables harvested from the prison gardens provided food for inmates. Some prisons were hands on in improving the diet of the inmates such as Beitbridge Prison which was at the initial stages of setting up a fishing project to supplement protein intake at the time ZHRC conducted its monitoring visit. Other prisons were undertaking income generating projects, such as Hurungwe Prison which farms commercial tobacco, and Mutimurefu Prison which has a workshop undertaking welding and carpentry. ZHRC recommends that Government prioritises supporting and establishing income generating projects in prisons as a means towards resource mobilisation amidst the economic challenges faced by the country. 6.3.2 Monitoring and Inspection Visits to Mental Health Institutions In June 2016 ZHRC monitored and inspected Ngomahuru Mental Hospital 20 outside Masvingo and Parirenyatwa Hospital Psychiatric Unit (Annexe) in Harare. The monitoring team took a tour of the 2 hospitals, noted down observations and formulated recommendations it provided to the relevant Ministries in order to improve the operations of the hospitals. Comparing the 2 institutions Ngomahuru Hospital faces extreme challenges which affect the patients’ enjoyment of the right to food and adequate nutrition, right to water and sanitation as well as essential drugs such as sedatives whose lack thereof is detrimental to the patients and the health personnel. The Annex Hospital was better placed in terms of financial resources for it requires patients to pay for hospital bills. The hospital was afforded funds to provide the requisite needs for the patients, whereas Ngomahuru Hospital solely depended on funds yearly disbursed to Government, which had not yet been provided to the institution at the time of the monitoring visit. Ngomahuru Hospital provided rehabilitation activities such as poultry rearing and gardening. The physical exercise equipment in the rehabilitation centre was no longer functional and needed to be repaired. On the Protecting, Promoting and Enforcing Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms
