A health workers strike at public Kenyan hospitals entered its tenth day today and Nairobi-based Navvi.com users are voicing concerns. “The crisis affected public hospitals as the workers protest against devolution of health services, which will see their salaries paid by governors,” according to the Daily Nation.
Strathmore University graduate student Machanje Daniel wrote on Navvi.com:
How long this tussle will go on will remain a mystery, but the FACT is that its the Kenyan citizen is the one under the shackles to bear the brunt of poor health delivery. The hospitals’ alley will continue being lifeless until a resolution is made by responsible parties to settle Health Workers’ pleas.
