Farai Dziva|A senior health worker collapsed because health workers have not received their salaries for the past three months.

Government sources yesterday said: “Masvingo General Hospital Primary Counsellor collapsed after being told salaries will come after 2 weeks.

Global Fund supported staff in the Ministry of health have not been paid their salaries for over 3 months. Aids and TB unit bosses have blamed Standard Chartered Bank for the mishap but nurses are getting allowances from The Global Fund in their respective bank accounts.

Many are asking if this is not abuse of office by AIDS and TB Unit by taking over 3000 employees for granted. Data Capture Clerks, Microscopists and Primary Counsellors form the majority of the unpaid lot.”
