The Acting Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister, Dr Jenfan Muswere, said the recruitment of nurses is in view of the surge in coronavirus cases and deaths.<\/p>\n

Muswere added that the government was in the process of reviewing the risk allowance for frontline workers. He said:<\/p>\n

Five hundred new nursing posts are being created to augment staff complements at treatment centres.<\/p>\n

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, scores of health caregivers deserted public health institutions for the private sector citing potential exposure to the virus and poor remuneration.<\/p>\n

Government officials have are so far issued conflicting statements on the state of the country\u2019s health institutions with some saying they are overwhelmed while some say they are not.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the secretary of Information, Nick Mangwana urged the citizenry to avoid contracting the coronavirus saying local institutions are overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Health and Child Care, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga recently said the institutions were not overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bulawayo Provincial Medical Director, Dr Welcome Mlilo confirmed rapid response teams were now failing to cope with new infections.<\/p>\n
