On 28-30 October 2013, in Kampala, Uganda, PHM country circles in eastern Africa came together to define regional health priorities and to coordinate actions for PHM across seven countries. Delegates from Djibouti, Somaliland, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda shared experiences and worked toward a common PHM East Africa action plan, built on country programmes. Ideas on building and maintaining strong grassroots movements were discussed, with support from Linda Shuro, the Africa Regional Coordinator. PHM country circles contributed resources to make the regional meeting possible, and French/English interpretation was provided courtesy of PHM Rwanda. 

A joint launch of Global Health Watch 3 took place at the closing ceremony on 30 Oct., in Kampala, followed by the issuing of PHM East Africa's Kampala Call to Action, signed by the PHM delegations.

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
