Health strike is unlikely to shape Kenya national vote
Keyword(s):
Significance Public sector doctors have been on strike since early December citing multiple grievances including pay, conditions at facilities and lack of investment in the public health system. The bitter dispute is the latest in a series of public-sector strikes and comes amid campaigning for August’s general elections. Impacts Agreeing to the strikers' full demands would add pressure for higher salaries in private facilities and the public sector. A national settlement could slow progress towards full devolution of health responsibilities to the counties. Elite segments of society do not rely on the public health system and may be less sympathetic to health workers’ grievances.
