Kenya’s nurses are expected to end a five-week nationwide strike after the Council of Governors agreed to increase risk and uniform allowances, according to Tuko. President William Ruto confirmed the agreement and congratulated the parties, signaling a return to work after disruption to public health services. The reported deal centers on allowance increases, with implementation details still to be clarified by national and county officials.

Nurses in Kenya have called off a 41-day nationwide strike after reaching an agreement with the Council of Governors. According to Tuko, the deal addresses the grievances that prompted the industrial action, which had disrupted health services across the country. The resolution ends one of the longer health-sector strikes in recent years, with nurses expected to return to work following the agreement between their union representatives and county government officials.

The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the national government to resolve the ongoing nurses' strike, warning that doctors will join the walkout if the standoff continues. According to KMPDU Secretary General Dr Davji Bhimji Atellah, the strike has disrupted essential health services nationwide and left public hospitals under severe strain, according to Khusoko.

A prolonged nurses' strike in Kenya is placing growing pressure on the country's public healthcare system, according to Capital FM. Nurses in Nairobi have been demonstrating with placards bearing messages such as "Punda Amechoka, COG Do Something Now" and "Implement the RTWA 2017 Now," directing their demands at the Council of Governors. The protesters are calling for the implementation of a 2017 return-to-work agreement. The industrial action has raised concerns about the continued delivery of health services in public facilities.

Kenyan nurses and midwives plan to march to the Council of Governors headquarters as part of a nationwide strike. According to a union notice dated September 4, cited by the Eastleigh Voice, the union intends to mobilise about 9,400 nurses and midwives, with 200 representatives drawn from each of Kenya’s 47 counties, for the planned demonstration.

The Mombasa governor has been issued a seven-day ultimatum to resolve a nurses' strike that has continued for 40 days, according to the Eastleigh Voice. The prolonged industrial action has disrupted health services in the coastal county. Salma Hemed, Executive Director of the She Rises Foundation, said the disruption had affected women seeking maternity services as well as patients requiring emergency treatment. The ultimatum adds pressure on county authorities to reach an agreement with striking health workers.
