Intern doctors hold protests at Ministry of Health 

Medical Interns have continued to mount pressure on the Ministry of Health demanding their immediate posting and payment as per the 2017 Collective Bargaining Agreement. In a push dubbed “OccupyAfyaHouse”, hundreds of intern doctors camped outside the Ministry of Health for hours on Monday accusing CS Susan Nakhumicha of reneging on the commitment to honor the May 8th return-to-work formula. A meeting between the CS and officials from KMPDU is said to have agreed that the interns be posted as per the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The parties are however yet to agree on modalities on how to post all the 1200 interns.
