Doctors in Nairobi will stop working starting Thursday at midnight. The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union told people about this on Wednesday. The doctors feel upset because the city has stopped paying them, fired some doctors, and often pays them late.

The doctors said at a meeting, "We do not like to strike, but we cannot help sick people when we have nothing."
The doctors believe they must be treated well to provide good care to sick people. The city health leaders have not commented on the doctors' plan to stop working.
