Clinical officers have called off their strike after signing a return-to-work formula with the government. Kenya Union of Clinical Officers Secretary-General George Gibore said the issues they had raised with the Ministry of Health before downing their tools for 26 days had been resolved.
The items they wanted addressed included being provided with adequate Personal Protective Equipment, better remuneration, comprehensive medical cover, and having a facility to specifically care for clinical officers who might get infected with Covid-19.
