A prolonged nurses' strike is severely impacting Kenya's public healthcare system as nurses demand the implementation of long-standing labour agreements. Hundreds of nurses in Nairobi are protesting, refusing to return to work until their demands are met.

• The central issue is the unimplemented 2017 Collective Bargaining Agreement, which includes a promised nursing service allowance of KSh 20,000 for certain job groups.
• Key parties involved include the Kenya National Union of Nurses and Midwives (KNUNM) and the Council of Governors.
• Nurses cite issues beyond pay, including delayed promotions, re-designation, and poor working conditions, affecting morale and patient care.
