Kenya's Doctors Strike Enters Second Week

Kenya doctors stopped providing emergency services at public hospitals on Thursday, as they entered the seventh day of a nationwide strike, The Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union accuses the government of failing to implement a raft of promises from a collective bargaining agreement signed in 2017. Thousands of doctors have stayed away from hospitals since last Thursday over poor pay and working conditions, despite a court order calling for talks between the doctors and the Health Ministry. Political analyst DAVID MONDA tells VOA’s Douglas Mpuga he thinks the government is not doing enough to solve the problem.
