Dr Mogusu to be laid to rest today as doctors strike kicks off

Family spokesperson Pastor Ronald Samani said the funeral service will strictly adhere to the Covid-19 protocols. Kisii County Government’s department of roads has already opened up the road leading to the deceased’s home. The 28-year-old intern doctor died on December 7 from complications related to Coronavirus. He had reportedly not received his salary for five months and did not have medical cover at the time of his death. Dr Mogusu’s death caused hue and cry among Kenyans on social media, most who accused the government of not offering the best working environment to healthcare workers in the country.

We d rather stay home alive than go to work and die — Doctors tell Kagwe

Health CS Mutahi Kagwe [David Njaaga, Standard] Mwachonda maintained that doctors will not endanger their lives to undertake a ‘suicide mission’ and no amount of money will bring back a lost doctor. “No amount of threats will make us go to work. Court orders will not stop doctors from dying and neither will they reduce infections among us. “We will not engage in hazardous environments. We will not engage without assurances of our treatment and compensation to young families that most doctors have. There is no point in training doctors and not employing them,” he asserted. The country now faces complete paralysis of health services, as doctors will also be joining nurses and clinical officers starting today, to push for better working conditions and enhanced allowances, among other issues.

Kenyan doctors mourn death of young colleague from COVID-19

3 Min Read NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenyan doctors on Wednesday decried the death of a 28-year-old physician from COVID-19 as the latest example of dangerous and unjust working conditions in government hospitals. Slideshow ( 5 images ) Stephen Mogusu was employed on a temporary contract and was never paid for the five months he worked in a COVID-19 ward at a public hospital in the town of Machakos, doctors who knew him told Reuters. Mogusu told Kenya’s Nation newspaper after falling ill that he could not afford diapers for his 5-month old daughter. Now his body is lying in the hospital morgue instead of being released to his family because his wife, another doctor, can’t pay the bill of more than 1 million Kenyan shillings ($9,000), according to a letter the Kenya Medical Association shared with Reuters.
