Doctors and civil servants have issued a protest notice for March 18, demanding urgent government action on the stalled Social Health Authority (SHA) cover.
The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) and the Union of Kenya Civil Servants (UKCS) accuse the government of deducting healthcare funds but failing to remit them.
This, they said has left them stranded without medical cover and access to healthcare services.
Speaking in Nairobi KMPDU Secretary General Dr Davji Atellah condemned the government's failure to act and expressed frustration. "Public servants, including doctors, have been enjoying comprehensive medical cover for years.
