HARARE \u2013 In a bid to inspire in-depth and impactful health reporting, Cimas Health Group has unveiled the Cimas @80 Media Awards, dangling a total of US$9,000 in prize money to encourage Zimbabwean journalists to delve deeper into health sector stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The awards were launched in the capital on Friday, with four categories open for competition: healthcare transformation, health and wellness, medical innovation, and public health awareness. Winners in each category will receive US$1,500, while runners-up will be awarded US$750.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cimas Chief Executive Officer, Vuli Ndlovu, challenged journalists to move beyond surface-level reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSometimes I wish the conversations were deeper. Let\u2019s understand the impact of the story on healthcare \u2014 to investment, to communities, and even to the path we\u2019ve walked,\u201d Ndlovu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He emphasised that while the cash prizes are attractive, the ultimate goal is narrative shift and meaningful storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe want as many stories out there. Sometimes, the prize is simply having been in the race,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The awards ceremony is set to take place in Bulawayo on November 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A judging panel comprising veteran journalists, medical practitioners, and representatives from the Zimbabwe Union of Journalists will adjudicate the entries. Submissions close on October 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cimas, which is celebrating 80 years of service, has a history of supporting media excellence, including being a gold package sponsor for health reporting at the National Journalism and Media Awards (NJAMA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
