Government hospitals are considering closing the outpatients’ departments and discharging all patients as the strike by junior doctors which started on Saturday intensifies. Reports indicate that the ongoing industrial action has affected major public hospitals such as Parirenyatwa, Chitungwiza and Mpilo.
The doctors are protesting against inadequate allowances, poor working conditions and lack of essential drugs and equipment at public hospitals. The doctors have also demanded an end to the current fuel crisis as well that they get their salaries in United States dollars.
