“It is the obligation of government to ensure both adequate resources both human and financial to ensure functioning health services,” she said.
Lichuma says both the National and County Governments have contributed to the situation as it is and that they have not done justice to guarantee Kenyans the right to health.
“The provision of the right to health means that hospital services, medicines and medical professional services meet the standards of being accessible, available, acceptable and of good quality,” she said.
She called on the government to take its greater responsibility to citizens and avoid further suffering and loss of life.
“In balancing the right to strike, the right of citizens to access quality health care and the right of medical professionals to better terms of conditions, we find that the greatest accountability and responsibility lies with the government,” she said.
