Healthcare services in Homa Bay County have been significantly disrupted following a nurses’ strike over unmet demands, including salary delays and poor working conditions.

Patients across public health facilities have reported reduced access to essential services, with some hospitals operating at minimal capacity. Emergency care remains available in select facilities, but routine services such as maternal health and outpatient care have been heavily affected.

Local authorities have called for dialogue between healthcare workers and county officials to resolve the dispute. Public health experts warn that prolonged disruptions could lead to worsening health outcomes, particularly for vulnerable populations.

The strike underscores broader systemic challenges in Kenya’s healthcare workforce, including staffing shortages and resource constraints.
