Chin'ono said, "Empty and Ghostly, this is Parirenyatwa Hospital this evening! Only tired army doctors who are providing an auxiliary service. Ward after ward, it was empty! Not only doctors are off work, even the hard working nurses have left their stations due to wage incapacitation!"\
The health staffers are saying they cannot attend work because they are incapacitated.
Former Cabinet Minister Saviour Kasukuwere said the government strategy of firing workers was not working.
"The
health situation in our country is dire. People are dying every day
without attention. Firing doctors is irresponsible and careless. What
has happened to our conscience! This is tragic and painful. This is
completely out of order."
