Public health workers in Kenya have suspended their national strike for 30 days to negotiate with the government, Capital FM reports. The decision, announced on Sunday 25 October, opens a period of talks aimed at resolving the dispute and allowing public health facilities to return to normal.
The suspension is expected to ease pressure on public hospitals and other facilities affected by the action. The outcome of the negotiations will determine whether the dispute is resolved at the end of the one-month period, according to Capital FM.
The decision comes as disputes between health workers and authorities can disrupt the provision of essential care. The talks will bring together representatives of the workers and the government.
