On the 1st of July 2016, ZHRC hosted an Interactive breakfast meeting with Health Service Providers under the theme “Enhancing the promotion and protection of the right to health through the work of ZHRC.” This meeting was prompted by the fact that throughout the roadshows the public lamented the deterioration of the country’s health sector, negatively impacting on the right to health care enshrined in Section 76 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe. The meeting created a platform for ZHRC to have an appreciation of the current state of healthcare service provision in Zimbabwe and triangulate the findings from the outreaches with the healthcare service providers with the aim of strategizing on ways of enhancing the enjoyment of the right to health. 7.4.
