Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 32051, member: 636"] Nairobi doctors returned to work yesterday after being away for 39 days. They settled matters with Governor Johnson Sakaja. Dr. Davji Atellah from the doctors' union told everyone the strike ended because the county agreed to fix all their problems. The doctors had asked for nine different things. The county said yes to bringing back fired doctors. They promised papers for 369 doctors, making their jobs permanent with retirement benefits. Doctors at Mama Lucy Hospital will finally receive the money they have earned since 2021 when May paychecks arrive. The county also agreed to pay extra cash to doctors who worked under the old city management system. Many doctors will soon move up to better job levels. The plan gives 72 doctors spots in job group S. Another 80 doctors will reach job group Q. The county promised 78 more doctors would climb to a different job level. These changes mean bigger paychecks for everyone who moves up. The agreement included special help for doctors at Kenyatta National Hospital. Some doctors lost jobs there but can return soon. Everyone will earn the same pay for doing the same work. By next May, 26 medical experts at the hospital will receive promotions to higher positions with better pay. Dr. Atellah looked happy when he talked after meeting with the governor. He said doctors celebrated winning these improvements but must keep pushing for even better working places, fair money, and respect for what doctors do. The agreement ended more than five weeks of patients waiting for care in city hospitals. [/QUOTE]
