Acting President Constantino Chiwenga said Government should consider changing internship conditions for junior doctors to avert future work disruptions that expose patients to risk.
Addressing journalists after touring Natpharm Company and the pharmacy department at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals yesterday, Acting President Chiwenga said the current system treated junior doctors as employees of the Ministry of Health and Child Care yet they would not have completed training. Said Chiwenga:
We are going to look at our systems because we have found that the systems which were being followed were not correct. When somebody is still and not yet finished (medical school) you cannot call him a junior doctor. He is still on internship and those regulations are going to be looked at. Government has spent a lot of money training these young doctors, as they want to call them, but I think they are still on internship; they are not yet junior doctors.
