Kenya’s healthcare system remains under pressure as nurses and midwives continue industrial action over unresolved employment and remuneration issues.
The Kenya National Union of Nurses and Midwives has demanded progress on collective bargaining agreements and the absorption of Universal Health Coverage workers.
The dispute has already resulted in demonstrations in Nairobi, with health workers calling on authorities to address outstanding issues.
The union has indicated that the strike will continue until key demands are addressed.
The industrial action has raised concerns about the effect of prolonged labour disputes on patients, particularly those who depend on public hospitals.
Kenya’s health authorities and labour officials face growing pressure to reach an agreement and prevent further disruption to healthcare services.
