Health services in Bomet and Kericho counties are severely disrupted as doctors and clinical officers have gone on strike. Patients are being forced to seek treatment in private facilities due to the work stoppage impacting approximately 400 public health facilities.

• The strike is due to the non-implementation of Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) and unpaid salaries and promotions for medical staff.
• Key organizations involved include the Kenya Clinical Officers Workers Union (KCWU) and the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU).
• In Bomet, clinical officers are protesting delayed promotions and salary increments, while in Kericho, doctors are demanding the implementation of a return-to-work formula and unpaid salaries.
