As I write, a number of products related to our health delivery system are being produced locally.

We now enjoy a surplus which we will soon export to other countries.
Because there was a pressing need, we gathered the Will and developed a Way.

Dear reader, the world is being remade under our very eyes. Without doubt a new world order is emerging. New rules are being written; new balance of forces is evident.
The key issue is locating ourselves within this whirlpool of major changes and shifts in world affairs so we are not on the receiving end. Change, change, forever change; we dare not resist change, for only change is permanent. In closing, I put the following questions on the table. How must Zimbabwe engage and re-engage amidst this emerging new world order?
What national mindset is required for the new world order?
What is our best foot forward amidst these fraught, seismic global shifts?
Whatever answers we may have to these questions I pose, it is clear tomorrow is another global country.
It requires new approaches, new citizens.
We must self-reinvent.
