<p>The Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights (ZADHR) has condemned the government’s plan to criminalise the recruitment of healthcare workers to work in other countries.</p>
<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/zimbabwe-s-health-care-workers-condemn-plan-to-criminalize-foreign-recruiters-/7041125.html"><span>VOA</span></a> on Friday, ZADHR president Norman Matara said that any attempt to prevent healthcare workers from leaving the country for better jobs would be illegal. He said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Also our constitution, the Zimbabwe constitution, guarantees citizens have the right to move freely within the country or leave the country.</p>
<p>We don’t know why those comments were made by the honorable minister of health.</p>
<p>The government continues to use scare tactics and command approach to solving healthcare problems.</p>
<p>The government should note that health workers are not being pulled away from the country but pushed away from the country by the meager salaries they are getting. They are being pushed by the worsening economic crisis in the country.</p>
<p>They are being pushed by poor working conditions: lack of equipment, lack of sundries, and lack of medicines in the hospitals that they work in.</p>
<p>We urge the government to improve working conditions, and pay a living wage, you will find that people will not leave the country.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Last week Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, who is also the Minister of Health and Childcare, said the country will enact a law to make it illegal for other countries to hire healthcare workers from Zimbabwe.</p>
<p>Chiwenga also said the drain of healthcare professionals was as good as human trafficking and a crime against humanity.</p>
<p>Eustina Shava, a nurse who is leaving Zimbabwe in May for better work in Canada, told <em>VOA</em> that foreign recruiters are doing nothing wrong and their work should therefore not be criminalised. She said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If we were given enough money, I don’t think anybody would love to leave their families, their relatives and work abroad.</p>
<p>But at the end of the day, we all want to achieve good things in life. We all want to buy houses, we all want to buy cars and we all want to send our children to good schools.</p>
<p>That’s the reason we are reaching out to recruiters. They have done nothing wrong. They are actually helping us to achieve certain things in life.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Reports indicate that more than 4 000 nurses and doctors have left Zimbabwe since February 2021.</p>
<p>Last month, the UK stopped the recruitment of Zimbabwean health workers. This was after Zimbabwe was placed by the World Health Organisation on the red list.</p>
<p>WHO red list designation means that the country is facing serious health personnel challenges.</p>

Doctors For Human Rights Condemn Plan To Criminalise Recruitment Of Healthcare Workers By Foreigners

<p>Zimbabwe’s health workers have condemned a new law that outlaws any industrial action, saying it will exacerbate the exodus of health professionals.</p>
<p>The Health Service Amendment Act which came into force on Tuesday prohibits health workers who are classified as an “essential” service from striking for more than three days.</p>
<p>The Act stipulates that those who do not comply face a fine or imprisonment of up to six months.</p>
<p>Enock Dongo, president of the Zimbabwe Nurses Association (ZINA) said the new piece of legislation takes away health workers’ right to protest. He said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>After the rejection of the bill by various stakeholders, they still went ahead to pass it. It is very unfortunate. The right to protest has been taken away.</p>
<p>… They tried to be clever, saying we are allowed to strike for three days, but we all know that even when we down tools for more days they do not want to negotiate.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>According to the Health Services Board (HSB), Zimbabwe has lost more than 4,000 doctors and nurses to the UK and other countries since 2021. Said Dongo:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>When you threaten health workers with jail, how do you expect them to discharge their duties?</p>
<p>This will affect every citizen, nurses will just adopt a ‘go-slow’ [approach to work].</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Norman Matara, the president of the Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights (ZADHR) said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This law has taken us two steps backward. We have been trying to fight brain drain. </p>
<p>Further frustration of health workers would lead to more people leaving. This bill will bring more negatives than positives.</p>
<p>This bill was widely rejected by all health professionals and even after the parliamentary consultations, this bill was rejected by the people.</p>
<p>To see the bill being drafted into law without amendments is quite sad.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Government health workers have been demanding a living wage of US$540 a month but the government has said it cannot afford to meet their demands.</p>
<p>Nurses in Zimbabwe are paid less than US$100 a month excluding allowances. | <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2023/jan/12/health-workers-in-zimbabwe-dismayed-as-law-curbing-strikes-is-passed"><strong>The Guardian</strong></a></p>

<p class="js-tweet-text tweet-text with-linebreaks" lang="en">The Secretary-General of the Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights, Dr Norman Matara has warned the citizenry to expect more side effects when they get second jabs of the COVID-19 vaccines.</p>
<p class="js-tweet-text tweet-text with-linebreaks" lang="en">Dr. Matara said there was no need to panic as that is a common phenomenon that suggests that one’s body is producing more antibodies. He tweeted this Thursday:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="js-tweet-text tweet-text with-linebreaks" lang="en">The 2nd doses of the vaccine in Zim are due today for some people. The 2nd dose usually triggers a faster and stronger immune response. Expect more side effects than the 1st dose. If this happens, it’s actually a good thing. Shows the body is producing more antibodies Musazoti 666 yatanga (when you see that happening, don’t speculate that 666 [satanism] has begun)</p>
<div class="js-card-container">Common side effects to expect include muscle aches and pains, headaches, fever, fatigue, and chills. Roughly 40-50% people will experience this. No matter how severe the symptoms are, they are self-limiting. They do go away within days.</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="js-card-container">Zimbabwe took delivery of the second batch of Chinese-manufactured COVID-19 vaccines – Sinopharm and Sinovac- that is meant to kickstart the second rollout of the vaccination programme.</div>
<div class="js-card-container"></div>
<div class="js-card-container">According to the Minister of Health and Child Care, Vice President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Constantino_Chiwenga">Constantino Chiwenga</a>, the second rollout will also target the education and religious sectors following the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/21/dr-norman-matara-responds-to-distress-call-treats-sickly-gogo-free-of-charge-report/">reopening of schools for examination classes</a> and the authorisation of religious groups.</div>
<div class="js-card-container"></div>
<div class="js-card-container">Dr. Matara’s remarks come as some have been sceptical of the COVID-19 vaccines at the backdrop of conspiracy theories that suggest that the vaccines were produced to depopulate Africa.</div>
<div class="js-card-container"></div>
<div class="js-card-container">Others are just afraid that since the COVID-19 vaccines were not tried and tested over a long period of time, as required, and since their efficacy is not known, they might have huge or more than expected side effects.</div>
<div class="js-card-container"></div>
<div class="js-card-container">Meanwhile, the United Nations’ World Health Organisation (WHO) is adamant that the vaccines are safe and so far have not produced any side effects to warranty their suspension.</div>

Dr Matara: Expect More Side Effects From 2nd COVID-19 Doses

<p>Experts have said COVID-19 is yet to reach its peak in Zimbabwe and the situation will get worse before it gets better, the Daily News reports.</p>
<p>The publication spoke to Mpilo Hospital Director Dr. Solwayo Ngwenya who told the publication that:</p>
<blockquote><p>This is just the beginning. When a pandemic hits a community, there will be loads and loads of deaths and we are not even close to where the pandemic can go<i>.</i></p>
<div>
<div data-adid="165387" data-type="dfp">
<div>We are talking of double figures now, but the deaths are going to increase and soon we will be talking of triple figures a day.</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>What we are seeing now are called index deaths. We cannot expect deaths to decrease anytime soon. We actually have to expect more deaths, especially with the way people are behaving towards the virus.</p>
<p>We are going to experience the consequences of us allowing the virus to spread. We have not seen the worst of it yet.</p></blockquote>
<p>Another expert, Senior Hospital Doctors Association (SHDA), Aaron Musara said COVID-19 deaths will continue to increase:</p>
<blockquote><p>Currently, there is no adherence to control measures to an acceptable level, yet strict adherence to the preventative measures against Covid-19 is one effective way to bring down death figures.</p>
<p>People are not following Covid-19 rules and as long as people are flouting the control regulations, Covid-19 cases and deaths will continue to increase.</p></blockquote>
<p>Dr. Norman Matara of the Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights (ZADHR) said people should not delay going to the hospital in order to save their own lives against the killer virus:</p>
<blockquote><p>A lot of people are delaying going to hospitals and when they do, it will be too late, which explains why deaths are increasing.</p>
<p>The health system also needs to be attended to before things get much worse than they already are. A lot of people would have survived and in future will survive if there are enough resources in hospitals.</p>
<p>The costs in many hospitals are also not allowing an ordinary person to get treatment in those hospitals that are taking care of Covid-19 patients, which means that they will just suffer at home till they die.</p></blockquote>
<p>President Mnangagwa during a national addressed urged people to calm down as he said help is on the way. This was after it emerged that Russia and China offered Zimbabwe their vaccines at a cheaper price than that of other drugs produced in other countries like Pfizer.</p>

Things Will Get Worse Before They Get Better - Experts On COVID-19

<p>A doctor who spoke to Aljazeera on the condition of anonymity has said the situation at The Parirenyatwa COVID-19 unit is bad as there are no volunteers to work in the unit. According to the source working in the unit is voluntary and key staff members are not volunteering due to lack of equipment and medication.</p>
<p>The doctor said they are working with three ICU beds, three ventilators, and four high flow nasal cannula machines:</p>
<blockquote><p>That is what we are currently making use of.</p>
<p>The COVID-19 unit currently has about 60 patients. He said a shortage of key staff such as nurses at the hospital was hampering the fight against the disease.</p>
<p>Working in the COVID-19 unit is voluntary but no one is volunteering – especially ICU nurses and intensivists [anaesthetists]</p>
<p>Six patients died in the ward the other night and then four but its mostly because there is no medication and equipment.</p></blockquote>
<p>This was also echoed by <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/01/06/you-need-a-refferal-from-a-govt-official-to-be-admitted-at-arundel-hospital/">Human Rights Activist Sithabile Dewah who said when she wanted her relative to be admitted at Parirenyatwa, </a> there were no nurses:</p>
<blockquote><p>But there was no urgency on their part. I think they have just seen too much death to care. Government is not being honest and transparent in terms of its plans and response to the pandemic. Many people are dying at home. Many are just taking home remedies</p></blockquote>
<p>The secretary of the Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights, Norman Matara told Aljazeera that part from Parirenyatwa, hospital bed capacity in public hospitals is very low:</p>
<blockquote><p>The problem is very few institutions are admitting COVID-19 patients because bed capacity is very low in public hospitals. This means that patients requiring these services will die at home. The few private facilities admitting patients are charging an arm and a leg</p></blockquote>
<p>Zimbabwe yesterday recorded over 1300 positive cases and 34 COVID-19 deaths.</p>

Parirenyatwa 's COVID-19 Unit Has 3 ICU Beds, People Are Dying Because No One Is Volunteering To Work There - Report

<p>Doctors have vowed to continue with their strike and said the government should just meet its end of the bargain to avert the looming crisis, rather than plead with them to return to work, The Standard reports.</p>
<p>This was revealed by Norman Matara, the Zimbabwe Doctors for Human Rights secretary-general when he was speaking to the publication. Matara said:</p>
<blockquote><p>The government should simply meet its end of the bargain, pay health workers a living wage, provide them with adequate personal protective equipment, and equip hospitals with medicines and equipment. If they do this simple task, health workers will happily return to work and do their job of saving lives.</p>
<p>The government wants health workers to act “in the nation’s interest and exhibit a sense of responsibility’, yet the same government is not meeting its end of responsibilities. Health workers cannot work on empty stomachs and without protective clothing simply because they save lives.</p></blockquote>
<p>Seniors doctors downed their tools last month and joined other health workers who had already embarked on industrial action against their employer several weeks before.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/07/31/ed-pleads-with-striking-health-workers-to-return-to-work/">president pleaded with health workers </a>to return to work as the COVID-19 outbreak reach unprecedented levels in Zimbabwe.</p>

The Government Should Simply Meet Its End Of The Bargain - Doctors Vow To Continue Their Strike

<p>Doctors from the Zimbabwe Hospitals Doctors Association (ZHDA) said that they successfully carried out an operation on a lady (pictured) on Friday who was assaulted by police.</p>
<p>The lady reportedly fractured her right patella or kneecap (a flat, circular-triangular bone which articulates with the femur (thigh bone) and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint) following the assault.</p>
<p>She is said to have been on her way to <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nyabira" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Nyabira</strong></a> to visit a relative when she was caught in the crossfire when riot police swooped on MDC supporters who were waiting to be addressed by party leader <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nelson_Chamisa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Nelson Chamisa</strong></a> at the party’s headquarters.</p>
<p>The woman is said to be stable after the successful operation. This was revealed by Dr Norman Matara on Twitter. He wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>As Zimbabwe Hospitals Doctors Association, we successfully operated this lady yesterday who fractured her right patella after being assaulted by the police whilst en route to visit a relative in Nyabira. The operation was successful and the lady is stable.</p></blockquote>
