Doctors threaten sit-in

OVER 100 junior doctors at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals have threatened a sit-in starting today after they were ordered to share government accommodation at the health institution and have their housing allowances of $300 scrapped off.

The source said the arrangement was also likely to affect senior doctors.

The planned sit-in is likely to cause a massive crisis at the hospital as junior doctors constitute the bulk of medical doctors at the health institution after most senior doctors left for greener pastures while others were dedicating time to their private surgeries.

Health minister David Parirenyatwa last night said he was not aware of the move which he described as internal.
