The Kisumu county healthcare system headed for a shutdown on Wednesday as doctors joined the medics' strike and patients streamed from public hospitals. But on Day Two, health workers pledged not to relent until their grievances are met. However, health workers also have families to feed, bills to pay and school fees to pay. Governor Anyang' Nyong'o said on Monday, "I would like health workers to join hands in delivering healthcare during this difficult time. “We shall make sure the process of promotion is done properly to the satisfaction of all health workers backdated to July last year,” he added.
