We are going to have the right people trained and graduate from universities or colleges. They are also going to approve institutions other ...

on an annual basis. If someone is not in that list in the Kenya Gazette, it means that person is not a registered clinical officer. So, it is going to be very easy for Kenyans to know the people they are dealing with. I want to conclude by talking about the health sector in Kenya, even a bit beyond the clinical officers. We all know that Kenya’s health sector is in a crisis. Our doctors are on strike. Recently, our nurses were on strike. There is a threat by people working in the morgues to go on strike. It is ...
