Another glimmer of hope that the protracted doctors' strike would come to an end has been dashed. Yesterday’s talks between the doctors' representatives and the Government failed much the same way the meeting with President Kenyatta at State House Mombasa last week failed to achieve positive results.
Meanwhile, today marks the 37th day of the strike that has occasioned not just untold human suffering, but deaths that could have been avoided.
Health Cabinet Secretary Cleopa Mailu has given doctors until Wednesday this week to resume duty or face the sack as the Government seeks to hire foreign doctors and university freshers.
