Golden Jubilee For Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops’ Conference great deal of suffering in Zimbabwe, particularly in the rural areas where Government hospitals and clinics were initially very few or even non-existent. Missionaries established medical missions both because they regarded the ministry of healing as an integral part of the Christian witness and also because they viewed medical Missions as an important evangelistic agency. Therefore their contribution to Catholic healthcare in Zimbabwe is priceless. The international donor community also channels assistance Mrs. Jennipher Masiiwa to Catholic health institutions. The support is quite Public Health Officer significant and has assisted in infrastructure development of the institutions and meeting of running costs. Missions that have strong ties with external donors are comparatively better equipped and have modernized infrastructure. Support from international donors include: top up of salaries to retain skilled staff; construction of new infrastructure and refurbishment of buildings; purchase of ambulances, equipment, medicines and capacity building of staff. Organisations such as Misereor, CAFOD, MIVA, Brother's Brother Foundation and CRS have channelled support to the institutions through the national office of the ZCBC Health Commission. Numerous other organisations have assisted the institutions either directly or through the dioceses. ZACH is also instrumental in the channelling of PEPFAR funds to our institutions. Successes Between 2012 and 2017 the Health Commission of ZCBC had 3 grants from two different partners , where Misereor has been a major partner for 5 consecutive years contributing to 87% of the organizations income. While Miva Netherlands contributed 13% of the organizations income during the past year, it is clear that there are limited funding streams to support the work of the ZCBC Health Commission, thus posing a huge challenge in achieving its mandate and the then set outcomes in the current strategic plan. However if fundraising is instituted, there is a possibility for ensuring secured and sustainable funding for the ZCBC Health Commission. 56
