Nurses will soon be hired on contracts- Health CS

Nurses will soon begin being employed on contract basis according to Health Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki.

This the CS says will standardise hiring of employees in the health sector.

She was speaking on Monday after an inspection on the progress of the Universal Health Coverage roll out program at the Nyeri Referral Hospital.

The move is set to apply to all nurses joining both county and national government.

Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga, who had accompanied the CS, echoed her sentiments saying contractual employment is the way forward as even the county bosses are on a 5-year contract after which they seek fresh mandates from the electorate.
