A nationwide strike by health workers, excluding doctors and nurses, entered its second day on Tuesday, July 21, as unions demand the government address key grievances.

• Unions are demanding the immediate conversion of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) staff from contract to permanent and pensionable terms.
• The Health Union Caucus is leading the industrial action, stating negotiations have stalled with both national and county governments.
• The strike is reportedly affecting health service delivery in several counties, with a particular focus on dissatisfaction with how governors have handled the dispute.
