Doctors at Zimbabwe's government hospitals went on strike over pay and teachers threatened to also begin a work stoppage, union officials said.
"All doctors at all the country's referral hospitals are on strike," Amon Siveregi, chairman of the Zimbabwe Medical Doctors' Association, said in a telephone interview from the capital, Harare, today. "We are negotiating with government, but can't yet disclose our demands because of a confidentiality clause in our dealings."
