The Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) has called off its nationwide strike which began on April 1, 2024, and had been running concurrently with the doctors’ strike which ran from March 15 until May.

This was announced by the Council of Governors on Monday, July 8 following a meeting with officials from the union.

KUCO revealed that it had reached an agreement with the county governments after signing a return-to-work formula. Its members were therefore asked to report back to their places of work within 24 hours.

"We began our strike on April 1 after seven days of notice which was issued on March 25 and we have been on strike until today. By virtue of signing this return-to-work formula, we are officially declaring that our strike has come to an end.

"Our members shall resume duty in their respective places of work starting today and not later than 24 hours from the date herein," a KUCO official announced during a press briefing.
