Health workers who had downed tools over delayed pay have called off their strike after the county government remitted their June salaries.

The workers, majority from Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital, resumed work yesterday after they were informed that their salaries had been sent to their respective banks.
