For the past week, patients have had to endure long waiting periods or go to other medical centres.
When The Zimbabwean visited the health facility early this week, there were long queues of patients waiting for X-rays, some of whom said they were making their second trip after being turned away last week.
“The second machine stopped working early last week and we have been giving priority to patients referred from the wards. Depending on the workload, we have been advising those who are not critically ill to first book or get the X-rays done elsewhere,” said a hospital employee.
Notices at the hospital advised patients to bear with the health authorities while the faulty X-ray machine was being fixed, but did not say when this could happen.
