Zimbabwe Police Break Up Doctors, Nurses Protest
Nov. 17, 2008
Riot police in Zimbabwe are preventing striking doctors and nurses from protesting against the country's collapsing health system.
Eyewitnesses say police broke up a protest Tuesday at a Harare hospital. The health workers regrouped later but are being prevented by riot police from leaving the hospital.
The protesters planned to present a petition to the government calling for "urgent action" to address the crisis in the public health system.
