A MEDICAL doctor employed by the Health and Child Care ministry at Beitbridge District Hospital has publicly declared her poverty and begged for help via Twitter.

“My name is Dr Sandra Kudzai Wayerera currently working at a district hospital in Zimbabwe.”

She is indeed one of the five medical doctors at Beitbridge District Hospital, two of whom are female.

Recently, the Defence and War Veterans deputy minister Victor Matemadanda came under fire for his government’s improverishment of medical doctors.

Matemadanda had gone on Twitter announcing his donation of food hampers to doctors at Gokwe District Hospital, but former Health deputy minister in the 2009-13 government of national unity Henry Madzorera slammed the Zanu PF-led government for allegedly allowing doctors to become destitute and live on handouts from top officials.
