SPECIALIZED DOCTORS TRAINED ABROAD WHO REFUSE TO RETURN TO ZAMBIA SHOULD RESIGN – MUCHIMA
By: Sun FM TV Reporter
Health Minister Dr. Elijah Muchima has expressed concern over doctors in rural areas who travel abroad for training but fail to return to serve their local communities.
During a courtesy call on Northern Province Minister, Dr. Muchima emphasized that Zambia faces a shortage of specialized doctors and urged those undergoing training to remain open to working in all regions.
He stressed that doctors who refuse to return should resign, creating opportunities for others who are willing to serve.
The minister also addressed challenges at Kasama General Hospital, including water shortages and inadequate bed capacity, vowing immediate action.
Meanwhile, he reaffirmed the continuous availability of essential drugs in hospitals and emphasized the importance of prudent financial management when procuring medication.
This man…making his usual unthought out statements.
Resign and who benefits from the financial loss in investing in that education? Recoup your money first and then release them.
This is why you messed up at the Ministry of lands, slapped around in yout own constituency.
Bwana even with your PhD, you dont seem to demonstrate critical thinking.
What resignation is the Minister talking about if doctors are not working in Zambia? Because that in itself is resignation by default. When I was reading the title of this article I thought the Minister was going to demand compensation of the government by the runaway doctors who have been trained at government expense. As usual I have again been deeply disappointed by this Minister’s dismal performance.
