By Own Correspondent| Senior doctors at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals have given notice to join their junior counterparts in the ongoing strike.

Junior doctors downed their tools on December 1 citing poor working conditions.

The Ministry of Health and Child Care is on record urging the striking junior doctors to go back to work while their grievances are being addressed.

However, the doctors remain adamant claiming that their situation is urgent and they believe that government has the capacity to address them.

In a letter addressed to the Clinical Director at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, the senior doctors said that they could no longer cope with the increased workload created by the absence of their juniors.

Read the letter:

“Due to the ongoing industrial action by our junior colleagues, we as the Registrars are now overwhelmed by the workload and we are now unable to effectively discharge our services.

We are therefore withdrawing our services with immediate effect. We hope the situation will be resolved expeditiously so that we may resume providing services normally and effectively.”
