I'm beyond shook 😭😭😭😭
How did we get here?
Since 1977, this country enshrined medical internship in law. It is a legal requirement before we declare a doctor safe enough to practice independently to the public.
It is not a choice!

📌Inconsistent Laws
Constitution,2010
Article 43(2):A person shall NOT be denied emergency medical treatment.
SHI Act
Section 26(5):MUST register with SHI-SHA-SHIF to get emergency medical services or any public services in government.
Denial of service penalty: Ksh 3million
It's Day 38 of the doctors' strike in Kenya. The government says it can't afford to pay them but the medics say they refuse to "supervise deaths" in ill-equipped hospitals.

SRC Chair told me that the middle class which is affected by higher taxes don’t seek services at public hospitals thus not affected by doctors strike.
Might we have okayed Poor services in public sector because there are options?
Also, why do citizens pay taxes?

This is mediocre and pedestrian reasoning by a high ranking government official in charge of public service, and if such type of reasoning can be entertained at cabinet level then
Ledama Olekina – Senator, Narok: The doctors are saying there's wastage of public funds and the gov't doesn't care about the needs of the people if you look at the travel budget (Ksh. 11.3B) of the national gov't alone. They are saying they are overworked and need more doctors to
We don't even have 2000 registered dentists and in Kenya. The number of practicing dentists is less than 1000. There has NEVER been a year where even 100 dentists graduated. HOW dare they cook numbers like this. BUDGETED CORRUPTION!

This logic is dangerous, and that's why we must revisit the idea of
#payinterns
which people were pushing for a few years ago.
We cannot demand people to get certs to practice and then refuse to pay them. That's extortion. We need to decide what quality of professionals we want.
The government of Kenya wants forced free labor from post graduate students at KNH and MTRH. Think about that, internalise it.

in the presence of the president in State House. We have therefore decided to occupy the MOH day and night starting on July 8th.
They have turned doctors into food delivery agents. Nothing wrong with a delivery job but no one should be pushed into labour they are not happy with after 7 years of training. Who will save this nation?
EMPLOYMENT OF DOCTORS. Some counties have never employed even a single doctor for the past 3/5 years amid severe shortage.
@kmpdu
Must ensure that after todays meeting

should advertise for employment immediately in all counties on pnp basis as a bare minimum.
