    "content": "the parties are expected to present the progress to the conciliation committee and World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA). The court is also expected to determine whether the doctors’ strike is protected or not. I would like to inform Members of this House that the Ministry is doing its level best to ensure that the human resources for health matters are handled permanently. We seek your support. One of the sticky issues is the internship, which arises because we now have many interns. Previously, we only had one university that used to train doctors; the University of Nairobi (UoN). At the moment, the country has eight universities training doctors. Currently, we have over a thousand graduates from the universities. Internship centres and specialists have not increased, thus we remain with the same number. The Ministry is working on how to manage the process from the time one enters into university. How do we manage it, so that by the time they are coming out for internship, the Ministry is ready for them? The biggest question is: how do we ensure as a country that we actually provide employment to these doctors once they finish their internship? What stands between us, and that is, availability of resources. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I submit."
