The Zimbabwe Nurses Association will tomorrow hold “Open Air Clinics” at Africa Unity Square in Harare and City Hall in Bulawayo in a move aimed  at showing their commitment and extent with which they value citizens’ health.

The Open Air Clinics will start at 12:00pm although it could not be established for how long they would run.

According to information gathered by ZimEye, citizens are being encouraged to join the nurses and wear white in solidarity with their cause.

The Open Air Clinics come amid rising concerns of poor service delivery at most health centers following the firing of an estimated 15,000 nurses country-wide by government two days ago.

In a related development, citizens have started initiating a campaign where citizens are writing letters to government airing their views regarding the firing of nurses under the hashtag “BringBackOurNurses”.

Post boxes have been deployed within Harare to allow citizens to write letters to the Vice President Constantino Chiwenga who issued the press statement on behalf of government firing the nurses.

Some of the boxes have been put at Africa Unity Square, First Street and Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare. The campaign has been given the names #DearVP and #BringBackOurNurses.

Organisers of the campaign revealed that the letters will be delivered to Vice President Chiwenga.

Those residing out of Harare have been asked to air their views using the #DearVP.
