Kenya's public health services face potential disruption after clinical officers announced plans to strike. The Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) has issued a 21-day strike notice to the government.
The union accuses the Ministry of Health and the Council of Governors of failing to honor past agreements. It also says the officials have delayed a crucial Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). A CBA is a negotiated contract between employers and a union that sets terms for wages and working conditions.
If no resolution is reached within the notice period, the union members will stop work. This action could severely strain the country's healthcare system.
