Govt Reneges On Doctors' Land Pledge

Govt Reneges On Doctors' Land Pledge

The Government is yet to fulfill its promise made in September 2021 to offer land to medical practitioners in private practice across the country’s 10 provinces.

In 2021, the Medical and Dental Private Practitioners Zimbabwe Association (MDPPZA) wrote to President Emmerson Mnangagwa requesting land and import duty exemptions.

The Government acceded to the request and directed provincial lands officers through their respective Provincial Affairs ministries to offer land to the medical practitioners.

However, almost two years later, not a single doctor has been given a piece of land by the Government.

MDPPZA president Johannes Marisa on Thursday confirmed the issue to NewsDay. He said:

We are getting different responses from the provincial lands offices, but the bottom line is that none of our members has received any piece of land under this facility.

We have been engaging the provincial lands offices in our respective provinces with nothing coming out.

We want to take this issue above and engage His Excellency, President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

NewsDay reported that Health deputy minister John Mangwiro and ministry spokesperson Donald Mujiri were both not reachable for comment.

Over the past few years, medical practitioners in the public sector have staged strikes over poor working conditions, low salaries, and lack of resources in the health sector.

What is the need for giving a doctor land a person who do not know how to use the land what he knows is to look after the sick people you must give them good salary not land . They must spend most of their time in hospital ,clinics and do research on medicines not to spend time on farms or their surgeries and private hospital and clinics . Surgeries , private hospital and clinics must be owned by retired doctors and doctors on pension not doctors who are still going to work they spend their time on their business not work. If doctors becomes famers what will be the work of farmers .Who will buy products from farmers if all people become famers . The is little jobs in Zim and the is no job creation and you allow one person to hold 5 jobs that is (he is a doctor , he is a Farmer , he works in his surgery , he have part time in chemistry ). Zimbabwe was a bread busket and now is a dry busket but we extended the area which was being cultivated by 100 time but we produce nothing because people who have farms are not famers it is the same as to give a doctor a farm .

Thts ZANU PF for you, land in Zimbabwe is available it boggles the mind why so many Zimbabwean dnt have houses even in Urban areas. Why should a stand in Urban areas cost on average usd 4000 it's a question Zimbabweans should be asking. All those poor fools who claim tht they will die for ZANU should be asking this question. In SA land in Urban areas is cheap,
