60% of Zimbos visit n’angas: Minister

HEALTH and Child Care minister Douglas Mombeshora has claimed that more than 60% of Zimbabweans are seeking the services of traditional healers.

Zimbabwe’s health delivery system has been on the decline for decades, while professionals in the sector have thrown in the towel and left to work in other countries.

At least 4 000 health workers left Zimbabwe to work in other countries such as the United Kingdom and South Africa as the government struggles to pay competitive salaries to nurses and doctors.
