ZADHR secretary Norman Matara said HCWs in government hospitals face challenges in accessing mental health services and they also have to cope with stressful conditions of service which further strains their mental well-being.

Recruitment of healthcare workers to ease the burden on those already in service is vital to ease the pressure. > There is need to increase remuneration so as to keep those still in service. It is also important to deal with the challenges at hand. Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association president Tawanda Zvakada said: > Losing colleagues was a very painful experience and it was very scary to diagnose yourself after experiencing symptoms aligned to COVID-19. > It was also very depressing trying to save others while not properly protected from the same. *More: New Zimbabwe* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
