2017年11月，在军事干预后，罗伯特穆加贝被迫辞去津巴布韦总统职务-自1980年以来，他一直无情地统治着津巴布韦。穆加贝政权对摧毁该国优秀的卫生系统负有责任。我认为，这是津巴布韦卫生改革的一个独特时刻。这一改革应侧重于三个领域：（1）通过注重人权和消除腐败来修复与国际社会的关系，（2）通过保留战略、培训和非专业提供者来加强卫生工作人员队伍，（3）社区参与。津巴布韦卫生系统的未来处于不确定状态，现在是一个进行积极变革的独特机会。
In November 2017, following a military intervention, Robert Mugabe was forced to resign as president of Zimbabwe - where he had ruthlessly ruled since 1980. Mugabe's regime was responsible for destroying the country's excellent health system. I argue that this is a unique moment for health reform in Zimbabwe. This reform should focus on three areas: (1) repairing relationships with the international community by focusing on human rights and eliminating corruption, (2) strengthening the health workforce through retention strategies, training, and non-specialist providers, and (3) community engagement. The future of Zimbabwe's health system is in limbo, and now is a unique opportunity to make positive change.
