Unemployed doctors who are eligible to work for the state will be placed by provinces soon-Dr Mkhize

SAfm — Unemployed doctors who are eligible to work for the state will be placed by provinces soon. This is according to Health Minister Zweli Mkhize. Provinces such as Gauteng, Limpopo and the Northern Cape are recruiting to fill vacant positions of doctors. This week, government came under fire following the arrival of the more than 200 health experts from Cuba to assist with the COVID-19 outbreak - many claiming the Central Americans were favoured over local doctors who still weren't placed in hospitals. Mkhize made the comments during a technical briefing last night. He also announced that the number of cases now stood at 4-thousand-900-and-96 with 93 of those resulting in death.
