Professional societies have condemned recent incidences of unacceptable treatment of doctors and colleagues, allegedly at the hands of law enforcement.

TMPD spokesperson Isaac Mahamba previously said that the “matter is receiving the necessary attention it deserves”.
“Some colleagues have resorted to remaining at their place of work rather than driving home after hours, for fear of similar treatment,” the joint statement on Tuesday reads.
