Details of the disputed salary deal signed by Kenyan doctors and nurses

Doctors want a 300 per cent salary increment as stipulated in a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) signed in 2013.

This will see the lowest paid doctor pocket Sh342,000 and the highest paid pocket slightly over Sh940,000, up from the current Sh500,000 for the highest paid and Sh40,000 for the lowest paid. The doctor-patient ratio in Kenya now stands at 17 doctors for every 100,000 people, well below the World Health Organisation recommendation of 100 doctors for every 100,000 people.
