The health sector in Kiambu County is headed for a major crisis after a doctors' union directed its members to discharge or refer all patients ahead of a strike set to start on Monday.
Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists Dentists Union (KMPDU) said it has decided to go on strike after the county government of Kiambu ignored the grievances.
Among other things, the doctors are demanding promotions, salary increments and employment of intern doctors permanently.
The medics are also calling for better working conditions.
