Clinical officers have called the strike after signing a return-to-work formula with the national government.

Health Cabinet Secretary Deborah Barasa revealed that over the past few weeks, clinical officers and the Ministry of Health have engaged in extensive and progressive consultations with all relevant stakeholders in a bid to find an amicable resolution to the issues at hand.

Dr Barasa acknowledged the concerns raised by the clinical officers saying they play a critical role in healthcare.

The Ministry of Health has agreed to have the Social Health Authority empanel clinical officers and fast track CBA. "Today, I am pleased to announce that following productive discussions, the clinical officers' strike has been called off following negotiations between the Ministry of Health and the leadership of our clinical workers' caucus.
