ZAMBIA Union of Nurses Organisation has condemned the recent violence that has left several cadres from different political parties injured and hospitalised.

Commenting on the violence that has charcaterised the political campaigns for this year's elections, Zambia Union of Nurses (ZUNO) president Thom Yungana said violence would prove to be costly to the already inadequate and overstretched healthcare system in the country.

He said more surgical and medical equipment would have to be acquired to treat the victims.

Yungana urged political parties to restrain their cadres from engaging in violence.

"Violence is costly in the management of the healthcare system as we will need a lot of surgical and medical supplies to adequately tend to the victims of the political violence," said Yungana.
