By Own Correspondent| Government is in dialogue with the Health Services Board (HSB), consultants and senior registrars over suspended junior doctors in a move aimed at finding a solution to ending the current impasse.

Health and Child Care Minister Dr Obediah Moyo says his ministry is in dialogue with various stakeholders and a bipartite meeting has been scheduled for next week Monday.

Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe Medical Association held a media briefing this Friday amid calls for the disagreeing parties to dialogue following the impasse between doctors who have withdrawn their services and their employer, the HSB.

Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association Secretary General Dr Anele Bhebhe welcomed the intervention by the consultants.

On Thursday, Acting President Retired General Constantino Chiwenga toured Natpharm as well as Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals to get a clearer situation of events on the ground where he revealed that junior doctors remained suspended and government would replace them.-StateMedia
