President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged doctors not to make innocent patients suffer even as the Government resolves issues they have raised.
The President said he is confident that the doctor’s dispute will be resolved by the end of the day and urged doctors to have compassion so that patients who depend on them do not suffer.

“I am very hopeful that by the end of the day we should have an agreement. We need to work together because we do not want Kenyans to suffer,” said the President when he addressed doctors at the Kericho County Hospital.
He called on the doctors to have a spirit of understanding and to look after the lives of their patients as the dispute is resolved.
The President said a solution will be arrived at, that recognizes the important role that doctors and nurses play.
The President spoke after commissioning modern medical equipment at the Kericho County Hospital which include dialysis machines, ICU/HDU, theater, radiology center and others.
President Kenyatta said doctors at the hospital have revealed that private hospitals are now referring patients to the county hospital for specialized treatment.
“The Government is working hard to improve medical services in the country but these equipment will be useless without you,” he told the doctors.
The President was accompanied by Deputy President William Ruto and local leaders.
