The Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights (ZADHR) has asked the government to improve its monitoring and response to the monkeypox (mpox) outbreak.
This request comes after the Africa Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
In a statement on August 21, ZADHR urged the Ministry of Health and Child Care to increase public awareness about the virus. It said:
<blockquote>
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, Zimbabwe has significantly strengthened its emergency preparedness and response mechanisms.
We believe lessons learnt in responding to COVID-19 can go a long way in enhancing the preparedness and response to Mpox.
Therefore, with cases being reported in other parts of the World and Africa specifically; and zero cases reported in Zimbabwe to date, ZADHR urges the government of Zimbabwe through the Ministry of Health and Child Care to enhance Mpox surveillance, diagnostics, treatment and care facilities and awareness of the disease.
ZADHR encourages citizens to take precautions related to the monkeypox virus based on the most current advice from the Ministry of Health and Child Care and from public health officials.
As with COVID-19 ZADHR will continue to monitor the response and make recommendations to ensure that no lives are lost due to MPOX in Zimbabwe.

Monkeypox is a viral disease that can spread from animals to humans and also between people through close contact with an infected person or objects such as bedsheets or clothing.
Common symptoms include fever, swollen lymph nodes, pain when swallowing, pustules on the skin, and lesions around the genitals and anus.
According to a report issued by the Africa CDC on August 16, there have been 18 737 Mpox cases (3101 confirmed and 15 636 suspected) across 12 African countries since the beginning of the year, resulting in 541 deaths.
Despite the outbreak in other parts of the world and Africa specifically, Zimbabwe has not yet experienced any confirmed cases of the viral disease.

A group of doctors in Zimbabwe want the government to do more to watch out for monkeypox, which is spreading around the world. They say the government should let people know more about the virus. The doctors hope the lessons learned from dealing with COVID-19 will help them be prepared for monkeypox. Monkeypox can be passed from animals to people or from person to person. It can cause fever, pain, and pustules on the skin. So far, Zimbabwe has not had any confirmed cases of monkeypox.

Zimbabwean Doctors' Group Calls For Enhanced Mpox Surveillance Amid Global Outbreak

The Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights (ZADHR) has condemned the government’s plan to criminalise the recruitment of healthcare workers to work in other countries.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/zimbabwe-s-health-care-workers-condemn-plan-to-criminalize-foreign-recruiters-/7041125.html">VOA</a> on Friday, ZADHR president Norman Matara said that any attempt to prevent healthcare workers from leaving the country for better jobs would be illegal. He said:
<blockquote>
Also our constitution, the Zimbabwe constitution, guarantees citizens have the right to move freely within the country or leave the country.
We don’t know why those comments were made by the honorable minister of health.
The government continues to use scare tactics and command approach to solving healthcare problems.
The government should note that health workers are not being pulled away from the country but pushed away from the country by the meager salaries they are getting. They are being pushed by the worsening economic crisis in the country.
They are being pushed by poor working conditions: lack of equipment, lack of sundries, and lack of medicines in the hospitals that they work in.
We urge the government to improve working conditions, and pay a living wage, you will find that people will not leave the country.
</blockquote>
Last week Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, who is also the Minister of Health and Childcare, said the country will enact a law to make it illegal for other countries to hire healthcare workers from Zimbabwe.
Chiwenga also said the drain of healthcare professionals was as good as human trafficking and a crime against humanity.
Eustina Shava, a nurse who is leaving Zimbabwe in May for better work in Canada, told VOA that foreign recruiters are doing nothing wrong and their work should therefore not be criminalised. She said:
<blockquote>
If we were given enough money, I don’t think anybody would love to leave their families, their relatives and work abroad.
But at the end of the day, we all want to achieve good things in life. We all want to buy houses, we all want to buy cars and we all want to send our children to good schools.
That’s the reason we are reaching out to recruiters. They have done nothing wrong. They are actually helping us to achieve certain things in life.
</blockquote>
Reports indicate that more than 4 000 nurses and doctors have left Zimbabwe since February 2021.
Last month, the UK stopped the recruitment of Zimbabwean health workers. This was after Zimbabwe was placed by the World Health Organisation on the red list.
WHO red list designation means that the country is facing serious health personnel challenges.
