The Council of Governors has called on clinical officers to resume work as discussions on their grievances are ongoing.

Speaking Monday, Health Committee Chairperson Governor Muthomi Njuki said the empanelment of clinical officers into the Social Health Authority (SHA) has been addressed.  He asked the officers to return to duty to facilitate universal health coverage in level two and three facilities. "We request all clinical officers who have downed their tools to go back to work.

Leaving clinical officers out of SHA empanelment means patients will have to start treatment at level four.

This has been resolved now," said Njuki.
