More than 200 nurses received their qualifications at a graduation held at Parirenyatwa Nursing School in Harare.

The event, which took place on 24 October 2025, highlighted the role of nursing staff within Zimbabwean public health services. First Lady Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa, who serves as Health Ambassador, addressed the graduates and praised nurses as the lifeblood of the nation.

Zimbabwe has faced persistent challenges in its healthcare sector, including staff shortages and limited resources in many facilities. The training programme at Parirenyatwa, one of the country's main referral hospitals located in the capital, forms part of efforts to strengthen the nursing workforce.

The ceremony marked the successful completion of studies for the new cohort of nurses. They are expected to join hospitals and clinics across the country, where demand for skilled personnel remains high.

According to The Herald Zimbabwe, the First Lady used the occasion to underline the importance of the nursing profession to national well-being. Her comments reflect ongoing government emphasis on health worker development.

Parirenyatwa Nursing School has trained generations of nurses who serve both in Zimbabwe and, in some cases, abroad. The latest graduates add to the pool of qualified staff at a time when the health system continues to recover from the effects of economic pressures and the COVID-19 pandemic.

تلقت أكثر من 200 ممرضة مؤهلاتهن في حفل تخرج أقيم في مدرسة باريرينياتوا للتمريض في هراري.

أقيم الحدث، الذي جرى في 24 أكتوبر 2025، لتسليط الضوء على دور العاملين في التمريض ضمن خدمات الرعاية الصحية العامة في زيمبابوي. تحدثت السيدة الأولى الدكتورة أوكسيليا منانغاغوا، التي تشغل منصب سفيرة الصحة، إلى الخريجات وأثنت على الممرضات ووصفتهن بأنهن نبض الحياة في الأمة.

تواجه زيمبابوي تحديات مستمرة في قطاع الرعاية الصحية، بما في ذلك نقص الموظفين والموارد المحدودة في العديد من المنشآت. يشكل برنامج التدريب في باريرينياتوا، أحد المستشفيات الرئيسية المرجعية في البلاد والواقع في العاصمة، جزءاً من الجهود الرامية إلى تعزيز القوى العاملة في التمريض.

شكل الحفل إكمال الدراسة بنجاح لدفعة جديدة من الممرضات. ومن المتوقع أن ينضممن إلى المستشفيات والعيادات في جميع أنحاء البلاد، حيث يظل الطلب على الكوادر الماهرة مرتفعاً.

وفقاً لصحيفة ذا هيرالد زيمبابوي، استخدمت السيدة الأولى المناسبة للتأكيد على أهمية مهنة التمريض لرفاهية الأمة. تعكس تعليقاتها التركيز الحكومي المستمر على تطوير العاملين في المجال الصحي.

دربت مدرسة باريرينياتوا للتمريض أجيالاً من الممرضات اللاتي يخدمن في زيمبابوي وفي بعض الحالات في الخارج. تضيف الخريجات الأخيرات إلى مجموعة الكوادر المؤهلة في وقت يواصل فيه النظام الصحي تعافيه من آثار الضغوط الاقتصادية وجائحة كوفيد-19.

لا يقدم التقرير تفاصيل إضافية حول المتحدثين المحددين أو التكريمات الإضافية الممنوحة أو خطط الانتشار المستقبلية الدقيقة للخريجات.
