Parirenyatwa Hospital
has started evicting patients admitted at the hospital as doctors
continue with their national strike. A visit by the Crisis Coalition
team at the aligning health utility showed that the majority of
the hospital beds were virtually empty. The team observed as the
administrative staff assisted patients out of the building.
This will lead to loss
of lives, which could have been avoided if the government had taken
heed of the demands of the doctors before they downed their tools
due to poor remuneration and working environment. However, the government
chose to ignore the plight of the health practitioners.
