Meth and cocaine flood Ingutsheni wards

Methamphetamine and cocaine abuse has flooded wards at Ingutsheni Hospital in Bulawayo, exposing a capacity paradox. Available beds cannot simply be used to relieve overcrowding due to the nature of drug-related admissions. The hospital faces a surge in patients requiring specialized care for substance abuse. Health officials warn that the facility lacks adequate resources to handle the growing crisis. The drug epidemic strains an already under-resourced mental health system.
