By GhanaSummary NewsroomKenya

In Kericho, the county government moved to avert a looming strike by signing a Recognition Agreement with the Kenya Medical Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Union (KMLTTU), led by Secretary General Nyakundi Moriasi Pius.

In Nyandarua County, Nurses Union secretary James Maina confirmed the strike had begun paralysing health services.

The strike is affecting services including laboratory testing and sample analysis, dispensing of medication at hospital pharmacies, nutritional counselling and therapeutic feeding programmes, public health surveillance and disease reporting, clinical consultations and minor procedures, and nursing care such as wound dressing, medication administration and patient monitoring.
