Senior doctors in Zimbabwe are on strike in support of their junior colleagues. They are protesting over the sacking of around 400 junior doctors in a protracted strike over poor wages.

In a statement, referring to the bad state of healthcare, the senior doctors said that a 'silent genocide continues to be perpetrated upon the people of Zimbabwe'. It details the lack of drugs and equipment that doctors have to deal with and says that conditions are no longer safe for treating patients.

Dr Nyaguse is President of the Senior Hospital Doctors Association.
