Medics will soon have a commission to address their affairs if a proposed Bill sails through the National Assembly.
Health Service Commission Act, sponsored by Chuka Igambang’ombe MP Patrick Munene of Jubilee, seeks to establish a Health Service Commission to provide for the registration of healthcare workers and for recruitment, employment and deployment of registered healthcare workers.
“This commission will basically operate like the Teachers Service Commission in terms of remuneration and appraisals,” says the MP.
The commission will also handle all matters of personnel emolument and ensure the medical practitioners, pharmacists, dentist, nurses, clinical officers, nutritionists and other healthcare-related workers comply with standards prescribed by the Commission under the act and any other law.
