Sinai
was
admitted
to
the
clinic
from
July
3
to
July
9,
2025,
reportedly
for
heart
failure
and
sepsis,
receiving
IV
infusions
and
injections
as
part
of
her
treatment.
However,
her
family
was
alarmed
to
discover
upon
discharge
that
she
had
developed
a
necrotic,
blistered
wound,
which,
according
to
her
daughter
Eugenia
Kamanga,
had
worsened
in
less
than
10
days.
Said
Eugenia:
“My
mother
stated
that
the
nurses
were
very
aggressive
with
needles
despite
her
telling
them
to
stop.“This
is
unacceptable
and
we
need
answers
and
possibly
sue
them.
She
cannot
sleep
at
night
due
to
pain
and
tissue
damage.“No
one
at
the
clinic
is
taking
responsibility
for
this
action.
We
have
medical
aid;
they
collected
US$165
upfront
and
US$55
per
night.“We
paid
for
unnecessary
tests
while
they
tried
to
figure
out
what
was
going
on“We
need
closure
on
this
grave
violation
and
lack
of
nursing
skills.”
When
contacted
by
the Zimbabwe
Independent,
Samuel
Leon
Clinic
management
said
they
were
in
communication
with
the
family.
Ranganai
Mubvumbi,
president
of
the
Health
Professions
Authority
of
Zimbabwe,
confirmed
that
the
matter
had
been
referred
to
the
Medical
and
Dental
Practitioners
Council
of
Zimbabwe
(MDPCZ)
for
further
investigation.
Said
Mubvumbi:
“It
might
take
a
month
or
two,
depending
on
the
complexity
of
the
issue
and
the
number
of
people
who
took
care
of
the
person.“If
you
feel
the
medical
council
was
not
fair
to
you,
you
can
appeal
to
us;
the
outcome
from
the
authority
will
then
be
revealed
at
the
High
Court
ruling.”
