The death throes of Harare's hospitals

The hospital in Zimbabwe was empty. The patients that went there had no hope of getting treated in the empty hospital. The building was a school and a market with peeling wall papers. The hospital was officially closed down last friday. Before, the hospital were filled with attentive nurses and doctors and a lot of sick patients. The parking lot was full too.
IF someone wanted an expensive treatment, they would not get it because they could not access to their cash because the banks has a limited number of withdrawels. the public hospitals accept money but the patients that came to them, they had to turn them away because there are no nurses, drugs or doctors.
