Clinical officers have alleged systemic discrimination and bureaucratic hurdles that undermine their role in healthcare delivery under the Social Health Authority (SHA).
The clinicians now want President William Ruto to intervene and streamline the implementation of SHA to alleviate the suffering of patients.
Kenya Clinical Officers Association (KCOA) President, Moses Konde Matole, claimed that there is a deliberate scheme by SHA to sideline clinical officers, despite their pivotal role in the healthcare system.
Matole emphasised that clinical officers are well-trained professionals with the requisite skills and regulated by an Act of Parliament through the Clinical Officers Council (COC).
