Senior doctors yesterday urged junior doctors to return to work as Government was committed to addressing their grievances as soon as is practically feasible.
Junior doctors went on strike on December 1 demanding salaries in US dollars and better working conditions. Addressing a Press conference in Harare yesterday, Zimbabwe Medical Association (ZiMA) president Professor Francis Chaora said:
The meeting was concerned that the junior doctors had not complied with the court ruling, thus putting themselves on the wrong side of the law. Both parties agreed that it was important for the striking doctors to return to lawful conduct by promptly resuming work in order to break the current impasse for the resumption and normalisation of services in the health sector. Both parties urged the junior doctors to be on the same page with both Government and ZiMA, their mediator, in the spirit of returning services to normal in the interest of patients.
