Takeaway

Devolved governments in Kenya have taken up health, including hiring and remuneration of health workers including nurses and doctors. The ripple effect to this has been strikes with nurses complaining over delayed salary payments and low salaries.

In Kenya, the majority of nurses who form the bulk of the health system are trained by the government’s medical college, Kenya Medical Training College.
