The President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi, today called on the doctors on strike to return to their jobs while talks continue on the points in the doctors' demands.

At the same time, Nyusi called for the solutions to be reached in the dialogues to be adjustable to the reality of the country and to be beneficial to the parties, the government and the medical profession.

"I would like to appeal to my brothers, sons and compatriots in these areas of health, in a spirit of humanism, to continue the dialogue. But, in this case, very quickly, to find joint and feasible solutions for the reality of our country, naturally, without prejudice to any of the parties, so that the Mozambican people, the patient we swore to serve, wins. And I have faith and hope that the message is getting through. Go back to the hospital, go back to the aid bank, go back to the laboratories, get on the ambulance wheels and treat your and our fellow citizens, and let's continue talking as we are doing, and you know what I'm saying. We would like to hear that tomorrow our brothers will resume work in the health units that have been closed to the detriment of the communities," he said.

Nyusi was speaking in the city of Matola at the official opening of the Culture Festival.

On Tuesday (22), the government announced the appointment of a new commission headed by the Prime Minister, Adriano Maleiane, to hold talks with the Mozambican Medical Association.
