Medical Tourism Facilities

Victoria Falls, Matabeleland North

The city has only one (public) hospital that does not meet international standards — a clear opportunity to build medical tourism facilities aligned to the SEZ.

Overview

The city is largely still developing with massive growth potential. Currently the City has only one hospital (public) — while services are subsidised, the facilities do not meet international standards. The cost of travel insurance to Victoria Falls is high when compared to other destinations. There is an opportunity to invest in medical tourism facilities.

Project Description
