No takers for Zimbabwe nurses

Zimbabwe is yet to receive takers from neighbouring countries after offering to export over 3000 jobless nurses.

Due to a funding shortfall, Zimbabwe's government has frozen about 400 nurses' and doctors' posts nationwide, as a result many qualified nurses have struggled to find work.

Health minister David Parirenyatwa said that all the government can do for nursing staff that are unemployed is to find ways for them to be absorbed elsewhere in the region and overseas.
