    "content": "AVERTING LOOMING BREAKDOWN OF HEALTH SERVICES IN COUNTIES OVER MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS’ CONCERNS THAT, aware that health services have been devolved in accordance with the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution and that medical doctors and other health practitioners in the public sector have been transferred or are being transferred to the counties; concerned that there is an acute shortage of medical professionals, especially consultants, in the counties, and particularly in rural counties; further concerned that public health personnel, particularly doctors, are apprehensive that their terms of service, including training, pension, remuneration, professional advancement and welfare are not assured and as a result are seeking for employment in private medical institutions in urban centres; cognizant of the grave danger their departure poses to the health sector; the Senate calls upon the National and County Governments to urgently address the concerns of medical practitioners to avert the looming breakdown of health services in counties."
