EWN reports that the Democratic Nursing Organisation of SA (Denosa) claims government is unpatriotic for welcoming Cuban doctors into the country but ignoring its own healthcare professions who remain unemployed.  

More than 200 Cuban doctors and health workers arrived in the country on Sunday to bolster resources in the fight against Covid-19.  They included physicians, epidemiologists and biologists, as well as healthcare technology, engineering and biotechnology experts.  They will help with door-to-door testing, with deploying and repairing medical equipment and with technical assistance.  Denosa president Simon Hlungwani said government should be hiring the thousands of doctors and nurses who remained without jobs.
