Source: Doctor Shortage Hits Police Force ⋆ Pindula NewsZRP Masvingo Province has been operating without a resident doctor for three years following the retirement of veteran medical practitioner Dr Godfrey Zimbwa. “Yes, there is no resident doctor in Masvingo, but the situation is under control as we send a doctor either from Manicaland or Midlands provinces from time to time to manage the situation,” said Commissioner Nyathi. He said the challenge is not peculiar to Masvingo, as other provinces are also without resident doctors. Commissioner Nyathi explained that the resident doctor does not attend to patients on a daily basis, as most staff and their families are on medical aid. “There is no doctor in Masvingo, Mashonaland West, Mashonaland East, with Bulawayo and Harare being the most affected because of their size.”
