Dear Sir/Madam
Re: INCAPACITATION OF SISTERS IN CHARGE IN ALL CENTRAL HOSPITALS IN ZIMBABWE
The above subject matters refer.
We note with concern the lack of urgency by the employer in addressing issues raised by Zimbabwe Nurses Association (ZINA).
The ongoing incapacitation has not been doing any good to the patient care in this period of COVID-19 pandemic period.
We have noted that despite the sacrifices shown by nurses the employer has not been forthcoming.
As part of ZINA membership, we share the same grievances and we have been holding forth at our respective wards despite being overwhelmed by the workload.
After consultations and deliberations, we hereby notify that we are withdrawing our services with immediate effect until the employer takes the nurses grievances seriously by way of fruitful negotiations.
Yours sincerely
All Central Hospitals Sic and CN
