Publishing date: Dec 21, 2020 • December 21, 2020 • 1 minute read • Article content NAIROBI Doctors employed in Kenya’s public hospitals went on strike on Monday, saying the government is risking their lives by forcing them to treat COVID-19 patients without adequate protection and not insuring them for treatment if they fall ill. The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union, with 7,000 members nationwide, announced their decision late on Sunday on Twitter. It said the government had not responded to grievances the union has been raising since March when the country reported its first coronavirus case. We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

[Omondi Onyango,Standard] It took Tom Wanyere three days of frantic calls to persuade a doctor to agree to attend to his 28-year-old son battling stomach cancer at Coast General Hospital (CGH) in Mombasa. But by yesterday afternoon, the doctor had not turned up. A desperate Mr Wanyera even turned to passersby outside CGH to find out whether any had skills to change his son’s intravenous tube.

Kenya: Doctors on strike against inadequate benefits, PPE | Coronavirus pandemic News

Kenyan doctors working in government hospitals have launched a nationwide strike over inadequate insurance benefits and lack of protective equipment (PPE) while treating COVID-19 patients. The strike began on Monday after the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union said on Twitter that there had been no resolution of grievances raised over the last eight months. “The Kenya government has neglected the Welfare, Safety & Health of health care workers,” the union said on Sunday. “No provision of medical insurance, Workman injury benefits & Compensation & lack of adequate quality PPEs. This greatly hampers the fight against #COVID19 in a country with an acute shortage of doctors.”

Kenyan Doctors Strike to Protest Work Conditions Amid Covid-19

Kenyan Doctors Strike to Protest Work Conditions Amid Covid-19 Bloomberg 12/21/2020 Eric Ombok (Bloomberg) Members of the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union withdrew their services starting Monday after eight months of talks between the state and the union failed to resolve issues concerning their welfare and safety. Doctors are protesting “no provision of medical insurance, workman-injury benefits and compensation and lack of adequate quality PPEs,” the union said in a statement on Twitter. “Health care workers have died and are now facing threats of sacking for protesting.” Efforts by lawmakers to mediate the stalemate between the health workers’ unions and the government failed and the strike is likely to slow the fight against the coronavirus in the East African nation, which has 94,500 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 1,639 fatalities as at Dec. 20, according to the Ministry of Health data.
