The family of the missing Harare Central Hospital doctor, Peter Magombeyi, says it is devastated by his disappearance but remains hopeful that he will come back alive.
Family spokesperson and uncle to Peter, Harry Magombeyi said the family has a lot of questions on why he was targeted for abduction. He said:
This is the most difficult period for us as a family. We are very much devastated by the abduction of our son Peter.
We are having sleepless nights trying to imagine what has happened to him.
Where is he, is he still alive, we also have lots of questions on why they decided to target him.
As a family, we really appreciate and we feel humbled when we see doctors and nurses demanding the return of their colleague alive.
It gives us hope and courage that Peter will soon knock at our doors and in good health. What we don’t know is, is it a crime or an offence to ask for better working conditions for doctors.
Is it a crime to ask for better working conditions for doctors and nurses, is it a crime to ask for medical equipment to be availed in hospitals so that patients get better treatment.
