It is unfortunate that whenever medics go on strike, patients are the main losers, yet there is no law protecting them.
The devolution of health services has witnessed more strikes than ever. For this reason, laws should be implemented to cover up ailing patients from inconvenience and even death.
In fact, the expense at which devolution has deteriorated health services is wanting.
The services rendered to poor patients are unpalatable. Some have to share beds, and quality medicine is rarely available.
As if not enough, the media always highlights such stories and no serious step has been taken by the Government to address the matter.
Now, where are the stakeholders representing the nurses and doctors?
Because truth be told, Kenyans are tired of experiencing the same problems, time and again.
Both the county and national governments should be held responsible and taken to court for any life loss from striking health officials.
Both governments should redefine ethics in health services.
In the past, matters of health services ever since devolution was implemented have been handled lightly.
