What you need to know:
In Homa Bay, the strike has paralysed operations in public health facilities, which witnessed a mass exodus of health workers to private facilities last week.
During the burial of their colleague, Ms Marianne Awuor, the nurse from Homa Bay who died of Covid-19 last week, the spotlight shone on the preparedness of county hospitals to deal with Covid-19.
This week promises to present tough moments for three counties in Nyanza region as more health workers plan to down their tools to protest at late payment of salaries.
The health workers have also raised concern over their safety with regard to Covid-19, promotions and other Collective Bargaining Agreements issues.
