Homabay county risks losing health providers after the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU) faulted Cyprian Awiti’s leadership of failure to steer the health sector.
The Union Secretary General Ouma Oluga argues that the county government is unable to deliver health care services to the residents and therefore there is need to transfer all the services to the National government.
He also wants the doctors relocated from the administration of Homa Bay County to the National government or other counties which can provide them with a conducive working environment.
Dr. Ouma claims that the residents of the county are being denied their constitutional rights to health care casting the blame on governor Cyprian Awiti for the shortcomings in the health sector.
He, also revealed that they are going to write a letter on Monday next week to request to terminate doctors’ service in the county.
The union National Chairman Dr. Oroko Obegi also said that health services in the county had collapsed and should be transferred to the National government Immediately.
