AT least 33 fake doctors and tutors have been arrested at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals over the past three months, it has been learnt.
The referral hospital also indicated that the recently arrested fake doctors did not manage any patient.
In a statement on Tuesday, the hospital said the institution’s surveillance team picked the criminals.
“In 2023 alone, 33 offenders were picked up by our security department. From January 2024 to date, 11 cases of this nature have been picked up by the same department and dealt with accordingly.
“Bogus doctors and bogus tutors who extort prospective student nurses, as well as thieves who steal from both staff members and patients, are some of the criminals who have been picked up and handed over to the police.
“Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals is a vast institution with close to 400 doctors of all professional levels and a total staff establishment of close to 4 000,” reads part of the communique. – Additional reporting by The Sunday Mail
