Health Services In Homa Bay Paralyzed As Doctors Down Tools Over Delayed Salaries

Health services in Homa Bay county have been paralyzed as doctors, clinical officers and nurses down tools over delayed salaries.

Reports indicate that the workers in the public hospitals are complaining about unaddressed grievances including delayed salaries, promotions and failure to employ more health workers by the government.
