New package for striking doctors

    JOHANNESBURG

    The Zambian government has worked out a new package for doctors who have been on strike since January, Zambian news reports said on Wednesday.

    Health Minister David Mpamba said he had discussed the new plan with the doctors and was awaiting their response. He declined to give details of the new package.

    “We had a meeting with them, the intention was to show them their new packages effected under the Central Board of Health and I expect all of them to come back,” he was quoted as saying.
