In Zimbabwe, you will find a complex picture regarding sexual and reproductive health care. On the one hand, Zimbabwe has one of the highest rates of contraceptive usage in all of Africa. There are numerous HIV testing sites across the country, and many NGOs are actively working on issues related to HIV/AIDS prevention, condom access and women's health care. On the other hand, Zimbabwe is still recovering from a massive economic crisis that hit the country in the early 2000s. Most recently, the country has now found itself managing major political changes with the 2017 coup. In total, this has left the country in a difficult position, where it finds itself stretched thin and unable to fully manage the many different facets of sexual and reproductive health care in the country. While the government has partnered with NGOs to help deal with HIV/AIDS and cholera, it has not invested as much money and energy into developing resources for maternal health. There are also not enough physicians and gynecologists in the country.<ref>[https://www.fistulafoundation.org/countries-we-help/zimbabwe/ Fistula Foundation - Zimbabwe]</ref> In total, Zimbabwe is a country that is in a state of transition. | |||
