The Mombasa county government in Kenya has rescinded an order to sack 86 striking doctors following negotiations with the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU), The Star local news website reported Thursday.
The move came a day after the Mombasa government sacked the doctors, including KMPDU Secretary General Chibanzi Mwachonda, for refusing to return to work. The strike is part of a countrywide labor action by health workers against a number of issues including a lack of Personnel Protection Equipment (PPE) while facing risks from COVID-19, with a number of them dying from the virus.
KMPDU CEO Daniel Yumbya said the aim of the discussion with the Mombasa government was to ensure that there is an “immediate resolution of the ongoing matter to ensure that the delivery of quality healthcare is not affected,” according to The Star.
