PlusNews Global | ZIMBABWE: Urban patients now referred to rural mission hospitals

PlusNews Global | ZIMBABWE: Urban patients now referred to rural mission hospitals:
"...This experience is becoming common as more and more people requiring medical care in Harare are forced to travel long distances to rural mission hospitals for treatment.

...Since October 2008, government hospitals such as Parirenyatwa and the Harare hospital have stayed closed after a work boycott by health workers protesting against poor salaries and working conditions, and because they could not continue to endanger the lives of patients by working in hospitals that were not properly equipped.
