A junior doctor earns approx $28,000 ZWL a month which is $207 @ real market rate.

This is inclusive of a COVID allowance of $70 USD risk allowance at paid bank rate = $6000ZWL.

This merits urgent fixing! Pay attention to what matters. #DECENTSALARIES

The catastrophic extent of it dawned on me last week when a young doctor who is my relative fell ill. It struck me as to what would have become of this young life.

My heart was taken to all the frontline workers who have families that look up to them for survival. #DECENTSALARIES!
