THE Ministry of Health and Child Care is piloting a new surgical male circumcision device which it hopes will help increase the number of people undergoing the operation.
Secretary for Health and Child Care Dr Gerald Gwinji said this at the on-going 4th Annual Zimbabwe Uniformed Forces Health Services Conference in Victoria Falls. Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces General Constantine Chiwenga officially opened the conference on Monday.
“Voluntary male circumcision is an important prevention methodology in an attempt to deal with HIV and Aids. We need however, to reach certain targets in order to meet a certain population level impact that we should get but the challenge is that we have just started and the method we are using allows a certain number of circumcisions to be done,” said Dr Gwinji.
