Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha has said the government would not renew its contract with Cuban medical professionals who came to Kenya six years ago to fill openings at county hospitals.
Speaking on Thursday during the Pre-National Dialogue on Human Resource for Health, Nakhumicha said that the Kenyan doctors are as well committed to the same course the Cuban doctors were performing.
The CS said the MoH will make sure that the country has a properly trained and well-cared-for personnel in order to provide universal and high-quality healthcare. Nakhumicha said the President has put in place strong measures aimed at bolstering the local health system's pillars, including as medical equipment and technology, health-related information, and financing.
"It is therefore vital that appropriate policies are not just formulated, but that they are developed with strong input from those most directly involved in their execution, the healthcare workers."
