Description
Gavin George, writing alone in 2026, asks if cash perks to keep staff can slow the move of health staff out of Zimbabwe. The study sets pay set right for what cash can buy next to pay in lands staff move to.
Zimbabwe runs a long plan to keep staff, paid in the main by funds from out side. It aims to hold key health staff in state posts firm. Pay for nurses, med heads, and top docs was set next to pay in South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Pay in Zimbabwe was built three ways. The first was base pay, the next was base pay plus state perks, and the last was all pay with keep-staff top-ups. The check counts how much of the world pay gap the perks close for each staff group.
