Medical Practitioners Calls off their strike in Kenya

By
Medical practitioners operating at Kenya's largest public hospital called Kenyatta National Hospital went on strike yesterday and paralysed all medical services within that health institution for 10 hours. They were demanding that the government of Kenya should pay them their due arrears for 11 months adding up to a total of 87 million Kenya shillings. Patients waited patiently in the hospital wards and on long queues for the strike to be called off or solved by the relevant authority. Relevant ministers were at that moment attending a constitution conference at the Kabete about 10 kilometers away from the hospital. When PHM Kenya representative arrived to the hospital, the hospital administration had already made promise to pay the nurses as soon as possible and the nurses agreed to resume back to work this morning. I will be going there at 2:00 pm to meet some officials to see if PHM could be of help to any side. More of this later..... In solidarity. Erick Otieno Owuor

Yet while some have made notable progress, others have fallen short. It’s time for our leaders to take action. Earlier this year we achieved a major success when, thanks to ONE members like you, Tanzania’s President Kikwete agreed to champion this issue with his fellow leaders. But he needs your support. Leaders are meeting next month in Addis Ababa and we need to make sure they hear our message loud and clear.

When you meet in Addis Ababa please recommit to investing in agriculture and nutrition to help pull 31 mi...

Access to safe abortion remains a dream for many women in Uganda-Universal Health Coverage Must Include Access to Medical Abortion!

By
As we mark the International Universal Health Coverage day, December 12 , under the theme “Keep the Promise”, it is crucial to highlight the World Health Organization (WHO)’s policy incoherence regarding misoprostol and mifepristone. Is the WHO keeping the promise of delivering universal health for all? WHO’s policy incoherence regarding the status of misoprostol and mifepristone constitutes a significant barrier to wider access to safe medical abortion. WHO must keep the promise of UHC and unequivocally endorse prompt low cost access to misoprostol and mifepristone including appropriate advice on usage and precautions. This comment addresses the global issue taking Uganda as a case study.   Access to essential health care is the ‘promise’ of Universal Health Coverage (UHC). It is also a fundamental human right. The mortality burden globally associated with unsafe abortion is horrendous and could be dramatically reduced if prompt low cost access to safe medical abortion ...
