Kenya president: Nearly 20 dead as medical workers strike
NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday urged striking medical workers to return to the job, saying nearly 20 people have died three days into the strike because of lack of care.
All doctors and nurses from public hospitals across the country have gone on strike, leading to a crisis in the health sector.
“Let us be human and be mindful of the lives of the patients. I am confident that we will find a solution to the problem,” Kenyatta said.
