Health workers have renewed calls for creation of the Health Service Commission to manage human resource in healthcare sector.
Kenya Medical Practitioners and Doctors Union (KMPDU) South Rift Chair Samuel Oroko said the challenges facing the health sector follow its unprecedented devolution.
"Last year, we went on strike to protest against devolution of the sector without setting up clear structures in counties. Governors are facing numerous challenges in the running of the sector," he noted.
According to Dr Oroko, there is need to establish a commission to manage the human resource while counties oversee the facilities and equipping hospitals with medical supplies.
