Years of economic crises in Zimbabwe have crippled the country's health care system. Lack of medicine and equipment, and strikes by staff mean patients endure unimaginable conditions. Al Jazeera's Haru Mutasa has been inside the wards and operating theatres of a hospital in Harare. Please be warned, the story contains very graphic images of medical procedures, from the start of her report.
