Clinical officers in Kenya have petitioned the Senate, citing discrimination and delays in intern postings. They claim the healthcare system often overlooks them compared to other medical professionals.

Systemic discrimination is a key issue in the petition. Clinical officers provide vital medical services in hospitals, clinics, and dispensaries across Kenya. Despite their contributions, they say unfair policies disadvantage them compared to doctors and other healthcare workers.

The Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) argues that unfair practices in promotions, salaries, and recognition persist. They urge the Senate to ensure equal treatment, fair career progression, and respect for their qualifications.

Another major concern is the delay in posting clinical officer interns. These programs provide essential practical training before certification. Clinical officers say frequent delays leave graduates unable to start their careers on time.

Recent graduates express frustration, unable to practice despite completing academic training. Many blame the Ministry of Health and government agencies for neglect, leading to financial struggles and stalled careers.

The petition calls for immediate Senate intervention. Clinical officers propose reforms to ensure equal opportunities, transparent internship placements, and the removal of discriminatory policies.

As the Senate reviews the petition, healthcare stakeholders, policymakers, and advocacy groups are watching closely. If approved, these demands could improve working conditions, career prospects, and healthcare equity.
