On 11th December marked the hundredth day of a doctors’ strike in Zimbabwe. The health workers from most of the major hospitals in the country do not stop to express their dissatisfaction with the many problems in the health sector.
In particular, the doctors are concerned about the problems of low salaries and shortages of medicines and equipment in the hospitals.
According to the Health Services Board, about eighty health workers have applied to return to work after an offer of financial support was made by the Higher Life Foundation, which is headed by billionaire Strive Masiyiwa. However, these are not all the doctors in the public service.
