Zimbabwe's doctors and nurses on Friday went on strike demanding salaries in foreign currency.
The health workers’ strike came two days after government awarded civil servants a 50 percent salary increment.
Civil servants have been demanding salaries in foreign currency, citing the collapse of Zimbabwe's newly reintroduced currency.
After a decade of dollarisation, Zimbabwe last year reintroduced its currency but it has been losing value rapidly against major currencies.
“The health workers demand that salaries revert back to the October 1, 2018 levels that were quoted in United States dollars, which is a stable currency that can store value,” the unions said in their letter to the government.
