Informed by the memories of African nurses, this book highlights
the experiences of men and women who provided nursing services in
Zimbabwe's hospitals in the twentieth-century. It argues that in
their subordinate positions, and within their various capacities -
nursing assistants, nursing orderlies, medics and qualified nurses
- African women and men played a pivotal role in the provision of
healthcare services to their fellow Africans. They transformed
hospital spaces into their own, reshaped and reformulated
indigenous as well as western nursing and biomedical practices.
Through their work, African nurses contributed to the development
of the nation by being at the bedside, healing the sick and nursing
the infirm. -- .
