FIRST Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa was Thursday forced to cancel a scheduled visit to Chitungwiza hospital due to the on-going strike by junior government medical doctors, NewZimbabwe.com reported.
Cancellation of the visit left scores of women who had come for free cervical cancer screening at the hospital, stranded.
Mnangagwa was due to visit the hospital on Friday as part of her nation-wide tour of State-run hospitals. During the visits women of various age groups undergo free cervical cancer screening and breast cancer tests.
In a message to local organisers of the First Lady's visit, Chitungwiza hospital authorities confirmed that the ongoing job action by junior doctors had affected the visit and forced Mnangagwa to abandon the tour.
