We advise against all travel to high density, low-income suburban areas at any time; and all but essential travel to Harare city centre, rural Manicaland and farming areas. There have been a number of serious incidents in rural areas and it is dangerous for farmers or agricultural workers to visit former properties or other agricultural areas. You should also avoid areas where War Veterans are active. We strongly advise against travel by journalists intending to carry out any reporting or official photography without the proper accreditation. The situation remains unpredictable and incidents of violence across the country continue: it could deteriorate further, without warning. Zimbabwe is experiencing outbreaks of cholera across the country with over thirty eight thousand people infected and almost two thousand people having died. You are advised to observe rigorous food and hygiene measures. You should familiarise yourself with precautions to take to avoid cholera including drinking or using only purified water. See the Health section of this advice for further guidance.

There is a shortage of drugs and trained medical staff in hospitals, making it difficult for hospitals to treat certain illnesses including accidents and trauma cases. The State health care system has almost collapsed and is often unable to provide basic treatment. Standards of nursing care even in private hospitals vary. Private clinics will not treat patients until they pay and often require large amounts of cash before they will admit even emergency cases. Even if payment is available some of the best hospitals are often too full to admit patients. Medical costs, particularly for evacuation, can be high. The shortage of fuel also has reduced emergency response capabilities. If you are on medication, you are advised to bring sufficient supplies of your medication to cover the period of your stay. Pharmacies may not be able to provide you with the appropriate drug prescribed by your doctor.

There are outbreaks of cholera occurring across Zimbabwe with major outbreaks in Harare, Chegutu, Beitbridge and High Density suburbs. In addition there are sporadic outbreaks of e-coli and other diarrhoeal diseases in Harare and other areas. You should familiarise yourself with precautions to take to avoid cholera, drink or use only boiled or bottled water and avoid ice in drinks. The standard of water quality and piping is low and there are frequent and severe shortages of municipal water. Rigorous food and hygiene measures should be observed and you should take particular care with any foods bought at the roadside or in the markets. If you suffer from diarrhoea during or immediately following a visit to Zimbabwe you should seek immediate medical attention.
