The crisis at Zimbabwe's public hospitals is worsening after radiographers at government hospitals on Wednesday joined the strike by junior and middle-level doctors by calling for a strike due to poor working conditions demands.
In a notice to strike sent to hospital chiefs, the Zimbabwe Government Radiographers Association said, "As the Zimbabwe Government Radiographer Association (ZiGRA), we regret to inform you that we have reached a conclusion to engage in an industrial action with effect from 6th of December 2018. We will not be discharging our services to the general public nationwide.
"This follows after the thwarted attempts to engage our employer in negotiations to Improve our working conditions. The situation has become unbearable due to the prevailing economic situation.
"We do hope our grievances will be addressed in the shortest possible time in order to restore normalcy in the health delivery system."
