Meanwhile, MTRH has assured patients and the general public that all affected services will resume fully.

The Hospital has also put measures in place to stabilize operations and enhance service delivery across all departments.

Clinical officers working on county and national government health facilities are on strike demanding for recognising of their Collective Bargaining Agreement already approved by the Salaries and Renumeration Commission (SRC).

They also want Global Fund and Universal Health Coverage (UHC) staff employed on a permanent and pensionable terms.
