These measures are essentially the declaration that doctors who do not show up for work are absent, and therefore suffer the penalties for absenteeism .
In fact, the government has not suggested that the strike is illegal. There is, however, no doubt that the striking doctors are absent from work. That is, after all, the whole point of a strike. Describing the strikers as absent is a statement of fact. The government has decided to recruit 60 Mozambican doctors, who are currently not employed by the National Health Service, to replace the strikers.
The health service had not recruited these doctors previously for budgetary reasons. The constraints on the Mozambican state budget mean that not every doctor who completes a medical training course will be able to walk into a job in a public health unit. Some, however, may be in private practice.
