A Mozambican doctors' organisation has raised concern that some doctors remain unemployed despite the struggles the health sector is facing during the the Covid-19 pandemic.

The head of the Order of Doctors of Mozambique said it had about 200 members without a job.

Gilberto Manhiça said it did "not make sense" that doctors had no job.

"In a pandemic situation like this, it’s difficult to have to digest a situation where we have locally trained doctors who don’t yet have a job."

He was speaking during a radio programme on the role of professional organisations in the fight against Covid-19 in Mozambique.
