Nurses' Strike in Machakos Called Off as Disputes Continue in Other Counties - August 2025

The nurses' strike in Machakos has been definitively called off. The resolution was reached following an agreement between the Machakos county government and the nurses' union after protracted negotiations. This development signals an end to the industrial action that had affected healthcare services in the county. However, the Kenya National Union of Nurses (KNUN) and midwives revealed that strikes are still ongoing in several other counties. This indicates that unresolved issues persist despite talks between healthcare workers and various county governments.
