‘Clamp down on apostolic sects shunning medical care’
Published By admin with Comments 0
A child rights organisation and some religious groups have implored the government to clamp down on apostolic sects that force their members to shun medical care.
The call comes after a recent outbreak of measles and mumps claimed the lives of 35 children in Hurungwe.
A girl child rights group has advocated a holistic approach to end the death of minors due to practices that bar members from seeking medical attention.
In an interview, Shamwari Yemwanasikana programmes lead Esnara Kativhu expressed concern over the practice by some sect members that lead to death of children.
