Dear Editor
It has to be pondered how one finance minister can prepare and present the biggest budget ever with no tax increases, in fact reversing several such measures from previous budgets, while another finance minister increased and included several burdensome tax measures in past budgets.
The article No tax increases appeared first on Stabroek News.
The HEART/NSTA Trust could be facing millions in liabilities to hundreds of current and former employees it has questionably taxed for nearly two decades under an unauthorised fuel policy, which the finance ministry has ordered to be halted. It is...
[ANGOP] Luanda -- The Angolan government has requested its sovereign partners of the G20 to put on hold the service of non-guaranteed bilateral debt, from 1 July to 31 December 2021, which allows for a saving of US$3 billion, until 2023, ANGOP learnt today from a source at the the Finance Ministry.
HEALTH and development have a symbiotic relationship, thus a healthy nation has high potential to develop. Johannes Marisa In 2007, the World Health Organisation (WHO) proposed a framework describing health systems in terms of six building blocks which include health workforce, service delivery, health information systems, essential medicines, financing and leadership. A robust health system should always strive to make sure that the building blocks are in order. A well-trained health workforce is a pride of the nation. Zimbabwe has trained some of the finest medical personnel who have traversed the world today. In 1963, Zimbabwe, then Rhodesia, became one of the most respected countries in Africa when the School of Medicine was opened. Among our neighbours, Zimbabwe was the second to open a medical school after South Africa which started in 1918. Zambia started in 1970, Malawi (1991), Botswana (1999) and Namibia (2009). Sadc has benefited from the health workforce coming from Zimbabwe. The health delivery system was strengthened in our country but brain drain creeped in, leaving many hospitals unmanned. During our days at medical school, we used to get payouts. It was of course government money which many students never came to pay back until today. Government was investing in health. The question today remains: What then went wrong resulting in a mass exodus of the cadres that government trained? In 2020, the University of Zimbabwe churned out about 183 medical graduates with National University of Science and Technology (Nust) sending out about 24. It is a pity today that the 2013 job freeze is haunting new graduates who are forced to hustle on the streets. Some of the graduates were absorbed into the system. Each central hospital received about 16 graduates who are working as junior resident medical officers. The numbers are significantly low considering the important roles that the junior doctors play. If the country is not to compromise the quality of healthcare, especially at central hospitals, junior doctors should be in good numbers considering that they are the ones who man the casualty and outpatients departments. All procedures surrounding the admission of a patient are done by these cadres, including taking blood to the laboratory and following up of results in order to expedite patient treatment. I understand that there is a job freeze, nevertheless, the medical industry is a delicate one, hence it ought to have staffing levels that are prepared for any catastrophes. In the midst of COVID-19, it is prudent for the country to have enough critical staff to avoid a quandary if things become worse. The third wave is threatening to attack everyone in the world and Brazil is one country that has lost hope of COVID-19 victory as both morbidity and mortality are increasing everyday. The monstrous virus is ravaging that country at an alarming rate, culminating in virtually all aspects of life being in tatters. If medical graduates are allowed to roam the streets in a country like Zimbabwe where both the doctor-
