The Striking doctors lead by their union officials have today gathered in Nairobi vowing not to return to work unless their demands have been fully addressed.This come amid the paralysis in the health sector which has halted operations in all public hospitals.
The union officials have said counties are giving exploitative contracts to doctors who are struggling to meet the ends even as the ministry of health and that of labour have not shown a clear plan to solve the stalemate.
Every kenyan has a right to access healthcare across the country and if anyone dies the government should be held responsible according to Dr Atella,who has said doctors cannot go back to hospitals through threats and intimidation by the employer.
The doctors Union has called on the health cabinet secretary Susan Nakumicha to fully implement the CBA which she says was signed by a difrent government which the doctors insist is legally binding.
The government should implement the CBA as it is before it can sign a new one.KMPDU says it has lost four doctors to suicide due to frustration at work,calling on counties to refrain from terminating salaries of doctors.
