Kenya is facing a looming health catastrophe as doctors in health facilities continue with their strike for two weeks demanding for better working conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

Meanwhile the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers has issued a seven days strike notice accusing both national and county governments of failing to keep their end of the bargain. The standoff between the government and the medical practitioners has left patients in trouble with many public hospitals unable to provide essential services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, a group of members of parliament has given the health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha a seven day ultimatum to resolve the crisis or face impeachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MPs castigated CS Nakhumicha  for being casual, reckless, incompetent and overly simplistic in dealing with the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctors under the Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentist Union have been striking due to delays in the posting of medical interns. Last week however, Nakhumicha dismissed their demands as unrealistic, retaliating that the ministry’s hands are tied on the issue of intern placements, sentiments that have elicited mixed reactions from leaders  and stakeholders <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
