Zimbabwe: Traditional healers make a killing as healthcare costs rocket

An increasing number of Zimbabweans are turning to traditional healers for inexpensive medical care as health costs continue their upward trajectory. Under-resourced state hospitals and clinics charge around Zim $20,000 (US 8 cents) per consultation, but the cost at better-equipped private hospitals is around Zim $500,000 (US $20) and patients can quite easily run up a bill of Zim $15 million (US $615) in a week.
