    Public health sector unions have issued a 14-day industrial action notice if the ministry of Health does not address issues stemming from the recent migration from the defunct National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to the new Social Health Authority (SHA). Union officials claim the new health scheme, rolled out last Tuesday, has left civil servants without proper healthcare coverage. They also stand in solidarity with clinical interns who are still waiting to be paid seven months after the ministry of health issued their contracts.
