Avert health workers' strikes to end suffering in Kenyan hospitals

Reports indicate that some 11 patients have died since the latest strike by health workers, including doctors and nurses, began. Nakuru, Nyeri and Makueni counties have had health services paralysed.

This is not the first time that doctors and nurses have downed their tools agitating for better working conditions and pay. The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union, says doctors and medical personnel in some counties have not received salaries for the last four months.
