Health Minister Obadiah Moyo visited cholera patients at hospitals in Zimbabwe's capital and told reporters the Health Ministry was doing everything it could to prevent more deaths and would seek to contain cases of cholera and typhoid fever. Although they live in the country's economic center, Harareans do not escape the limited access to drinking water that inhabitants of the more far-flung areas of the country endure.
