Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) officially resumes its strike effective midnight on February 17, 2025. This decision follows the failure of the Ministry of Health and the Council of Governors to address critical issues, including CBA negotiations, Universal Health Coverage (UHC) staff absorption, and comprehensive medical cover for clinical officers. The strike, which was initially suspended for 21 days pending negotiations, is expected to impact public healthcare facilities, including national referral hospitals.
