La Fleuve du Mal

(Redux) What happens when a government presides over the dramatic reversal of its populations access to food, clean water, basic sanitation, and healthcare? When government policies lead directly to the shuttering of hospitals and clinics, the closing of its medical school, and the beatings of health workers? We dont need to wonder. It is happening now in Zimbabwe.

PHR has witnessed the devastation caused by the willful neglect of Zimbabwes people by the Government of Robert Mugabe. As CEO Frank Donaghue discusses in this video, PHR detailed the causes and effects of this crisis in the report, "Health in Ruins: PHR Reports on the Man-Made Health Crisis in Zimbabwe". Commenting on this report, Archbishop Desmond Tutu said "The world must take action against the Mugabe regime for these crimes against humanity".
