Doctors Join Nurses in Healthcare Crisis | Global News

Published 2 days, 12 hours ago
Description

Kenyan doctors are poised to join a six-week nurses’ strike, warning the healthcare system is collapsing under unsustainable strain as they’re forced to cover nurses’ duties — a crisis rooted in a 2017 agreement the government refuses to fund. Nurses marched on the Council of Governors demanding pay, while doctors issued a seven-day ultimatum; failure means their own walkout. The nursing union accuses the government of neglecting healthcare in the budget, with senators blaming governors and salary commissions for a deadly national crisis as hospitals face closures and overdue payments linger for nine years.
