By Own Correspondent| Acting President Constantino Guvheya Chiwenga  has told striking doctors that their actions are not fixing government but the people that they serve.

Chiwenga characterised the striking doctors at public health institutions as hypocrites.

He said this while addressing government officials when he visited the remote Kanyemba District in Mashonaland Central Province.

Chiwenga praised the medical personnel at Kanyemba’s Chapato Clinic for persisting in a tough working environment.

He said:

“I am glad that no staff at Chapoto Clinic here in Kanyemba withdrew their services. We are not saying, you don’t feel the pain, but you soldiered on by not striking.

When you withdraw your service, that is a breach of the Hippocratic Oath, because when you withdraw your services, you are not fixing the government but the people that you serve.”-Newsday
