Tanzanian doctors will start working in Kenya in the first week of April, Health Cabinet Secretary Cleopa Mailu has said.

Dr Mailu on Monday said the medics would be given two-to-three year contracts, and would be posted to national, county and faith-based health facilities.

KNH VISIT

Speaking during an impromptu visit to the Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi, Dr Mailu said the recruitment of the 500 doctors was within the law.

He dismissed claims by the doctors union that there are 1,400 jobless Kenyan doctors, saying they are unemployed “by choice”.

Kenyan doctors, he said, get jobs in government upon completing their studies but some choose private practice, insinuating that all those who are jobless fall in this group.

He said plans to hire specialist doctors from Cuba was under way to address Kenya’s poor doctor-to-patient ratio and burn-out due to long working hours.

The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board says, currently, the doctor to patient ratio stands at 1 to 5,033 Kenyans, this is nearly nine times more than what is recommended by the World Health Organisation of one doctor to 600 patients.

Kiukweli napinga sana wao kwenda huko na mkiwaona huko waingilieni kinyume na maumbile waache unafiki watulie nchini kwao.

Kenya ina madaktari ambao hawajaajiriwa kwanini wasiajiriwe ? Mkiwaona huko Mombasa nyie waleni bila mboga.
 
Hili game nalifananisha na mwanamke anayenyanyaswa na mumewe mkoa Mzima unajua na juhudi za kuwasuluhisha zimeshindikana ingawa mwanamke bado anapenda kuendelea kuishi na watoto wake

Ila anatokea mwanamke toka mkoa wa jirani anaambiwa na baba yake mwanangu nenda kaishi naye wewe huyo mwanaume naamini wewe utamuweza na yeye bila kufikiri na kuchunguza kilichomshinda mwenzie anaenda tu kisa baba kasema.

Why huo mshahara mkubwa wasipewe hao madkatari wao waje wawape wetu.. What so special???

Sio kila jambo linafaa msemo huu-Kufa kufaana
 

Muda uliotumia kuandika maneno mengi haya ungetumia kusoma issue nzima na kuelewa kwamba madaktari kwetu Kenya wameongezwa mishahara tayari, pili hatuna madaktari kitaa wasiokua na ajira. Ukijiridhisha na hayo mambo mawili utawacha kukurupuka kwa kuandika riwaya.
 
safi xana...waje wanyoroshe vichwa ngumu kama oluga.
 
Wapinzani wetu hao, wanajifanya wanahurumia watu wasiokuwa na ajira halafu wakipata dili wanaanza kupinga. Siasa inawatoa watu akili, hapo akiambiwa na Mbowe madaktari waende Kenya naye atakubali.
 

Mimi nahofia usalama wao tu hawa watoto. Mungu akawatangulie.
 
Vijana nendeni mkapige pesa za kina wanjiru aisee..
Kenya si jehanam. Kakomaeni.
Napenda hii kitu ifanyike na kwenye taaluma nyingine.
Kuna Rafiki zangu wamemaliza internship mwaka Jana na walikuwa tu kitaa, washachangamkia dili mapema mno..
Nitafanya tour kuwatembelea hapo Kenya as earliest.

Kenya producing 600 doctors a year but counties not hiring - survey
Feb. 04, 2016, 3:00 pm
By GEORGE MURAGE
Kenya produces 600 doctors a year but many do not get employed by counties, a medical association official has said, painting a grim picture of the public health sector.

KMPPDU secretary general Ouma Oluga spoke following a survey that found Kenya needs 83,000 doctors to meet WHO standards and fully address challenges, yet loses 25 a month.

The doctor to patient ratio is one to 17,000 against WHO's ratio of one to 1,000, revealed the study by the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union.

The survey found that Kenya has 3,956 doctors in the public sector but that the number drops by the month as more doctors resign.

The country's healthcare is "headed for the rocks", Oluga said in Naivasha on Thursday, adding the public health sector is being dealt a major blow.

Oluga noted that in the last two years, the country has lost more than 2,000 doctors, most of whom were in the public sector.

He faulted county governments saying they "have failed" following the devolution of health functions as they "oppress" health workers forcing them to resign or find other jobs.

“We are doing very poorly in terms of the doctor to patient ratio, in relation to the World Health Organization standard, and the situation is getting worse as more doctors resign,” he said.

Speaking in Naivasha on Thursday, Oluga said county officials harass health workers, whose salaries he said are delayed, adding their working conditions are poor.

“Many health workers are demoralised due to the poor working environment. In the end it is members of the public suffer,” he said.

Public health workers in several counties have in the past gone on strike over pay, leaving patients stranded or having to seek alternative healthcare when they can afford it.

Oluga asked Health Cabinet Secretary C
leopa Mailu to meet the Council of Governors for a solution into what he termed a crisis.
