Health workers in Nairobi are set to stage a major protest as over 23,000 nurses plan a coordinated march to highlight the worsening crisis in the healthcare sector. The union has announced that 500 nurses from each county, totaling 23,500 health workers, are expected to take part in the event. The demonstration comes amid growing concerns over staffing shortages, inadequate resources, and the overall strain on the healthcare system.
The protest is part of a broader effort to draw attention to the challenges faced by medical professionals, including low wages and poor working conditions. Health workers have been calling for better support and funding to ensure quality care for patients. The union emphasized that the march will be a key moment to push for policy changes and improved conditions.
The event is expected to take place in the capital city, drawing attention from both local and national authorities. While the exact date has not yet been confirmed, the union has urged the government to engage in meaningful dialogue to address the ongoing crisis. (eastleighvoice.co.ke)
