Zimbabwe’s government may stop nurses leaving

Enock Dongo of the Zimbabwe Nurses Association talks about the government’s plans to prevent health workers from leaving. He says the factors pushing nurses to search for greener pastures abroad need to be addressed. It’s after Vice President Constantino Chiwenga said the government could implement a law criminalising the recruitment of Zimbabwean health personnel by other countries.
