By Own Correspondent| Finance and Economic Development Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube has appealed to striking junior doctors to return to work adding that Government had done all it could for now to address their grievances.

Minister Ncube urged the junior doctors to consider the plight of patients since Government would continue the engagement process through the bipartite negotiating forum.

Addressing a Press conference in Harare, Prof Ncube said Government valued the work of junior doctors and other health workers.

Said Ncube:

“We value our junior doctors and all our health workers and of course we sympathise with their plight like we do with the plight of every Zimbabwean in this transitional situation.

Government has done a lot in meeting the demands of the junior doctors — fuel for transportation purposes, vehicle loans and other such demands that they placed upon us and we responded. We feel that we are really doing our part in responding to their demands.”-StateMedia
