Nurses Warn of Mass Exodus

The Zimbabwe Nurses Association urged the government to improve salaries and working conditions to prevent strikes and a growing exodus of medical staff. Speaking in Masvingo, ZINA president Enock Dongo said over 4,000 nurses have applied for verification letters to work abroad due to poor welfare. He criticized the Health Ministry for withholding these letters, warning that continued neglect could cripple the country’s already strained public health system.
