Abstract

Frontline health care workers in Zimbabwe are pivotal to the COVID-19 response, as they are responsible for setting up rapid testing and communication to help prevent transmission in the community. This project will support the health care workers by putting in place occupational health services such as testing, contract tracing and screening for causes of illness and death among the workforce.
