Discovery Ambulance Services has reaffirmed its commitment to serving Zimbabweans with reliable, professional emergency medical care, despite attempts by detractors to frustrate progress on its strategic partnership with Harare City Council.
The private ambulance operator, widely recognised for raising standards in pre-hospital emergency response, continues to provide life-saving interventions across communities while supporting national health sector development.
Government Endorsement
The Minister of Health and Child Care, Dr. Douglas Mombeshora, described the Discovery Ambulance Services partnership as “a robust and strategic collaboration that will save lives and strengthen our healthcare system.”
Dr. Mombeshora encouraged all capable entities to follow suit, urging the private sector to step forward and contribute to Zimbabwe’s health development through meaningful partnerships.
“This is the kind of collaboration that accelerates progress and benefits every Zimbabwean. We welcome those who can contribute positively to join us,” he said.
City Council Support
Harare City Council Mayor Jacob Mafume praised the arrival of Discovery Ambulance Services, noting that the company has come at the right time when emergency medical support is most needed.
“Discovery Ambulance Services is stepping in at a critical moment. Their presence strengthens our city’s ability to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies,” Mayor Mafume said.
Unwavering in Mission
David Munowenyu, CEO and founder of Discovery Ambulance Services, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to public safety.
“Our duty is to the people. We will not stop doing good until we have a modern and industrialised Zimbabwe,” Munowenyu said.
He emphasised that while “agents opposed to progress” are working to undermine partnerships, the company remains laser-focused on action, results, and saving lives.
“Criticism is inevitable, but it will not distract us. Our focus remains on strengthening health delivery, building resilience, and extending emergency services to every corner of Zimbabwe where they are needed most,” Munowenyu added.
Partnerships for Development
The collaboration with Harare City Council is a practical step toward modernising local health services. Discovery Ambulance Services insists such initiatives should not be politicised but embraced as part of a broader vision to transform healthcare delivery in the country.
Under the guidance of President Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa and the praesidium, government partnerships with innovative service providers like Discovery are reinforcing the steady march toward a modernised health sector.
A National Drive for Progress
The government has consistently underscored the importance of private-public partnerships (PPPs) in strengthening national infrastructure and service delivery. Discovery Ambulance Services has positioned itself at the heart of this strategy, complementing public healthcare through rapid response, advanced equipment, and trained personnel.
For Zimbabweans, the company’s role goes beyond transport — it is about saving lives, empowering communities, and aligning with the Vision 2030 agenda of a prosperous, industrialised nation.
Discovery Ambulance Services remains committed to working with all stakeholders willing to prioritise people’s health over politics. The company says its long-term goal is to expand capacity, invest in modern medical technology, and ensure that every emergency call is answered promptly and professionally.
With government backing, city council support, and strong private-public collaboration, Discovery Ambulance Services is not just providing ambulatory care — it is a central partner in Zimbabwe’s journey toward a safer, healthier, and more modern nation.
