Seventy doctors at various health centres countrywide allegedly displayed negligence and incompetence, which, in some instances, led to patients suffering life-threatening complications.
One doctor’s practising licence has since been cancelled after he played a part in an avoidable still-birth.
The medical practitioner was also ordered to enrol for further training, while a special panel is investigating cases involving his colleagues.
Medical and Dental Practitioners’ Council of Zimbabwe (MDPCZ) registrar Mrs Josephine Mwakutuya said that the doctors will be charged with poor communication, advertising professional services, negligence, unethical conduct and incompetence. Penalties will be determined at disciplinary hearings.
According to Mrs Mwakutuya, one case involves a gynaecologist who failed to administer proper post-natal tests.
The complications resulting from this malpractice could not, however, be immediately established.
