The rehabilitation works described in the source

Rehabilitation works at Mpilo Central Hospital in Bulawayo have been reported as 90% complete, with contractors working towards a December 2026 target.

What the progress figure means

ZBC News reported on 10 October that the renovations form part of the Presidential Hospital Refurbishment Programme. According to the report, most critical work has been completed, while painting and final fittings are still in progress.

The current C-section wing is expected to be converted into a casualty department once the renovations are completed. A site supervisor quoted in the report said the section could be commissioned in December if work proceeds according to plan.

The **90% figure is a reported estimate for the rehabilitation works described in the source**. It is not confirmation that the entire hospital project has been completed, or that every wider hospital-modernisation project is complete.

Why the update matters

Mpilo is a major referral hospital serving Bulawayo and surrounding provinces. Improvements to clinical spaces, casualty services and the working environment can affect patients, health workers and families across the region.

BHEKZIM PLUG will treat the December date as a reported target until commissioning is officially confirmed.
