The newly gazetted Health Service Amendment Act now criminalises industrial action by healthcare workers lasting more than three days and offenders could now face a fine or imprisonment of up to six months.
Now the Zimbabwean government seeks to clamp down on such work stoppages by classifying the industry, including doctors and nurses, as an essential service. Most government-run hospitals are currently understaffed following an exodus of doctors and nurses leaving the country. In the last two years over 4 000 health workers are reported to have left the country according to Zimbabwe’s health watchdog.“What I see, in my own opinion, is most people are going to go into private practice because people are scared, and most people are going to move out of the country because of that law. It also brings down morale which is not there already at the moment.
