Mnene Hospital

Ten people were treated for Cholera in Chomubobo Resettlement Area. Chemubhobho village, is located about 8km from Mnene Mission. Three died in the outbreak, in December 2018. It is suspected that raw sewage from the Lutheran-run hospital contaminated Mnene River. Midlands provincial medical director Dr Simon Nyadundu said the Ministry of Health and Child Care was still to establish the actual source. “The water was contaminated, but we cannot say it is Mnene Mission Hospital because we haven’t established that yet. “We are still investigating,”. Mberengwa North Member of Parliament Tafanana Zhou said samples taken from the river showed that the water was contaminated. ^{[4] [5]}

In November 2019, Mnene Hospital had electricity cut off by ZESA. Zesa southern region representative Engeneer King Dube said they did not switch off the entire hospital. "Mnene Hospital owes about $700 000 on its electricity bill and what we have done is to switch off other sections like the hospital staff cottages and other areas," he said. "We did not cut power to the critical sections of the hospital like wards and mortuary." While it is not a Government hospital, it is district's referral hospital. 27-bed hospital ^[6]
