Poor working conditions cripple govt hospitals

Poor working conditions in government institutions are affecting Zimbabwe's health delivery system and making service delivery impossible.

On Monday the Zimbabwe nurses association told parliament's public services portfolio that government health institutions faced human resources constrains, lack of proper equipment while workers were poorly remunerated.

This comes as Zimbabwe is experiencing a shortage of nurses, with about 8500 nurses however the government has halted nurses recruitment though there are over 3000 trained ones failing to find employment.
