Dozens of doctors in at least two of Kenya’s 47 counties have gone on strike on Friday over delayed salaries, inadequate personal protective equipment for handling COVID-19 patients, and lack of medical insurance.
Healthcare workers say they have not been given adequate PPEs, but the government has said it has distributed enough.
Doctors working in hospitals under the Nairobi County Government have issued a one week strike notice. Strike starts on the 21st of August 2020.
