The health workers’ uptake of continuing professional education in selected Provincial Hospitals in Zimbabwe.
Abstract
Health institutions in Zimbabwe often cannot fulfill their health care mandate due to lack of
specialist health workers in different fields. Despite the effort by the Ministry in providing CPE
opportunities, there is poor uptake of CPE by health workers in various provincial hospitals in
Zimbabwe. This has resulted in severe staff shortages, particularly doctors (and more
specifically specialists), as well as nurses and allied health workers.
