Discovery Ambulance Services is transforming lives across Zimbabwe through its free training initiative, which has already equipped over 50,000 people with vital first aid skills and treated more than 20,000 patients nationwide.
The program is playing a key role in promoting health, enhancing employability, and strengthening emergency response in local communities.
Masvingo Province’s Shonganiso area is a shining example of the program’s success. Here, young people are gaining life-saving skills that not only prepare them to respond to emergencies but also improve their job prospects in the healthcare sector.
This grassroots approach is building resilient communities capable of handling medical emergencies independently.
The initiative supports President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s vision of inclusive development—“leaving no one and no place behind”—by ensuring healthcare knowledge reaches even the most underserved areas.
As the program continues to grow, its impact in Shonganiso sets a blueprint for expansion to other provinces, paving the way for sustainable community-based healthcare solutions throughout Zimbabwe.
