Explanation:
Doctors and health workers in various African countries are protesting the poor working conditions, scarcity of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the fear of infection from the coronavirus.
Some are staying away from work, yet they are urgently needed.
In Zimbabwe, doctors and nurses working in public hospitals went on strike weeks ago over lack of PPEs, such as such as protective suits, goggles and sanitizer, to use while treating patients. There are no signs that they'll return to duty any time soon.
Medics in Nigeria and Kenya face a similar situation.
So far, ten medical professionals have already been infected with COVID-19 in one of Nigeria's largest states, Kano, according to DW correspondent Nasir Salisu Zango.

With medical staff fearing for their lives, patients are suffering.
"Patients in government hospitals are not getting help and most doctors are not turning up for duty," Zango said. "They complain about the lack of protective gear like masks and are afraid of getting infected."
It's a similar situation in West Africa's Togo, where several doctors and nurses contracted the virus after coming into contact with COVID-19 patients.

Gilbert Tsolenyanu, secretary-general of Togo's hospital practitioners union SYNPHOT, says the risk is high for doctors and nurses.
The lack of protective equipment is "a big blow," Tsolenyanu told DW in an interview, "but not a reason for us to give up. We have shortcomings and challenges in the health care system, but that shouldn't stop us from winning the battle against COVID-19."
In neighboring Ivory Coast, Christophe Kouame, who heads the civil rights organization Civis Ci, told DW that the situation in his country was shocking.
"Given the few cases of infected people in the country, we should have had the minimum equipment but we are surprised that there's not enough material," he told DW.
Currently, 1,464 people in the Ivory Coast have tested positive for COVID-19 with 18 deaths.
