Abstract
Purpose of the study: This research examines the impact of resource constraints on the implementation of Zimbabwe's National Health Strategy from 2009 to 2013. Dynamic capabilities are said to be critical to an organisation's success. Resource management is one such critical dynamic capability. In developing countries such as Zimbabwe, health measures are viewed as critical to achieving the developmental state's objectives. This concept, however, is not entirely realised Methodology: The interpretivist-qualitative method was used in conjunction with a case study strategy in this study. The study enlisted 38 voluntary participants who worked in the Vungu District as health workers. Main findings: Two significant findings emerged from the thematic data analysis. The first criterion for success was the availability of resources throughout the strategy's implementation and execution stages. Second, the data indicated that health workers face challenges providing care due to an inadequacy of resources. Applications: The study might useful in improving health policy execution in local government especially in the rural areas. Novelty/OriginalityThe study's findings indicate that implementing the Zimbabwe National Health Strategy was an ambitious undertaking that failed due to Zimbabwe's public health sector's resource constraints. On the basis of these findings, recommendations are made, with an emphasis on promoting limited resource concerns.
