Harare, Zimbabwe | Corporate 24 Medical Centre, once celebrated as a beacon of healthcare excellence, is now under fire following a damning exposé.
Allegations of financial misconduct, employee exploitation, and substandard care have emerged, casting a dark shadow over one of Zimbabwe’s most prominent private healthcare institutions.
The report, released by Moyo, paints a grim picture of corporate greed and mismanagement at Corporate 24.
Sources within the organization allege that senior management diverted millions of dollars meant for patient care and staff wages into dubious projects and personal enrichment schemes.
Several current and former employees have revealed shocking details about their experiences at the medical centre.
Speaking anonymously, a nurse described the harsh working conditions: “We’re overworked, underpaid, and treated like disposable tools. Many of us haven’t been paid on time for months, yet management continues to expand their luxury lifestyles.”
Another employee disclosed how the centre allegedly inflated patient bills: “Patients are charged for services they never received. It’s heartbreaking to see families burdened with massive debts because of unethical practices,” the whistleblower said.
Moyo’s exposé also highlighted the plight of patients who sought help at Corporate 24, only to be met with substandard care.
Several families shared harrowing stories of misdiagnoses and negligence, some of which led to life-threatening complications.
One woman, whose husband passed away after being admitted to Corporate 24, recounted her ordeal: “They promised us the best care, but all we got were excuses and delays. My husband’s condition worsened because they failed to act on time. I still don’t have answers about what happened.”
Meanwhile, documents obtained by Moyo suggest that senior executives at Corporate 24 have been using company funds to finance lavish personal expenses, including luxury vehicles and international trips.
These revelations have sparked outrage, particularly as Zimbabwe’s healthcare sector continues to struggle to meet the population’s needs.
The exposé has triggered widespread calls for a thorough investigation into Corporate 24’s operations. Activists and healthcare advocacy groups are demanding that the Ministry of Health and Child Care take swift action to address the allegations and hold those responsible accountable.
“This is a betrayal of the trust that patients place in healthcare providers,” said a health rights advocate. “Corporate 24 must answer for its actions, and the government must ensure that justice is served.”
Moyo’s exposé has also reignited debates about regulating private healthcare in Zimbabwe. Critics argue that lax oversight has allowed private institutions to prioritize profits over patient welfare, exacerbating inequalities in access to quality care.
As investigations into Corporate 24 unfold, the scandal has become a wake-up call for Zimbabwe’s healthcare system. For many, the question remains: how many more stories like this are yet to be uncovered?
Sibusiso Moyo’s hard-hitting exposé has shaken the foundations of Corporate 24 and reignited calls for transparency, accountability, and reform in the nation’s healthcare sector.
