Health workers have warned of possible industrial action after the government failed to honour a promise to review health-specific allowances with nurses accusing authorities of repeatedly reneging on commitments.

Zimbabwe Nurses Association (ZINA) president and Health Apex Team leader Enock Dongo said the latest explanation that there was "no fiscal space" to implement the review had deepened frustration among health workers.

He said the failure to act risked pushing an already demoralised workforce to the limit.

"This is unacceptable and risks pushing an already demoralised health workforce to the limit. The continued failure to honour commitments made to nurses, doctors, pharmacists, radiographers, laboratory scientists and other health professionals has reached a point where we can no longer remain silent. We are saying enough is enough," Dongo said.

Dongo said health workers had since continued to undertake night duty, on-call and standby responsibilities while working under increasingly difficult conditions and with limited resources.

He said the allowances had failed to keep pace with the rising cost of living.
