Striking junior doctors at Zimbabwe’s state hospitals will end a four-month strike after accepting an offer from a telecoms billionaire to pay them a monthly allowance of about $300 for six months, their union said on Thursday.
The doctors went on strike on September 3 to protest against poor wages and a lack of adequate equipment and medicines, leaving many poor people unable to get treatment.
