The Kenyan healthcare system is once again on the verge of paralysis as clinical officers begin a nationwide strike.

Under the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO), healthcare workers have accused both the national and county governments of failing to honor their commitments, a situation that continues to hinder service delivery.

KUCO Secretary General George Gibore has affirmed that the strike, which began yesterday, will persist until their grievances are addressed by both levels of government.

Among the key issues raised is the failure to schedule negotiations for the next Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
