Universal Health Coverage (UHC) workers from across Kenya staged a nationwide demonstration in Nairobi, protesting outside Afya House in Upper Hill. The workers are demanding improved working conditions and the prompt payment of their delayed salaries and gratuity payments. Their contracts are set to expire in April, which has raised concerns about their employment status and the potential for service disruptions. In response to the demonstrations, Health CS Aden Duale questioned the identity and leadership of the protesters. The CS stated that he cannot confirm if the individuals demonstrating are registered UHC members.
