Confusion over nurses suspension
Richard Muponde and Vanessa Gonye ·
THERE is confusion in the handling of the cases of over 1 000 nurses whose suspension was ordered by government as some health institutions are reportedly reinstating them.
About 1 280 nurses were suspended by the Health Service Board and removed from the payroll pending disciplinary hearings after they failed to report for duty protesting the Health and Child Care ministry’s decision to scrap flexi working hours arrangement.
Vice-President and Health minister Constantino Chiwenga and Health secretary Jasper Chimedza had directed provincial medical directors to cancel the flexi hour system and revert back to the normal working hours.
