A patient is taken home on a stretcher by his relatives from Parirenyatwa hospital’s accident and emergency ward in the capital Harare August 21, 2009. State doctors, who earn a basic wage of $170, started a job boycott last week demanding $1,000 per month, paralysing operations at the country’s four major hospitals in Harare and Bulawayo.
