You are broadly correct in all your commnents and [Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights -ZADHR] have been trying to make those same points.

ZADHR has also been urging the Zimbabwe Medical Association [ZiMA] to make the similar points and show some responsibility and leadership by acting during this crisis. The World Medical Association – WMA issued a statement and a resolution specifically on the health crisis in Zimbabwe in 2007 !

Adopted by the WMA General Assembly, Copenhagen, Denmark, October 2007]

It is not just the minister, there is also the ministry itself. In addition, it is not just doctors who have ethical and human rights responsibilities. Nurses and all other health professional.

Thank you for your comments.
