Universal Health Coverage (UHC) healthcare workers on Monday staged a peaceful procession to Afya House, where they demanded an official written communication from the Ministry of Health confirming their long-awaited absorption into permanent and pensionable terms.

Speaking during the procession, UHC workers’ representative Onchek Musiori said the workers were seeking clarity after months of uncertainty and repeated delays, despite verbal assurances that the absorption process had begun.
