Health workers have threatened to go on strike if their demands for better terms are not met.
During a demonstration Tuesday, doctors, members of the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers and staff hired under the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programme called for remittance of statutory deductions and payment of salary arrears.
They also want interns posted and the UHC staff put on permanent and pensionable terms.
In the march that started at the Kenyatta National Hospital to the Social Health Authority (SHA) offices, Afya House and then the Senate, the health professionals warned they would shut down the healthcare sector in May if they are not heard. "We are ready to go on strike not just for ourselves but for interns, clinical officers, and UHC staff.
