A Kenyan doctor has filed a petition in court seeking to stop the government from licensing Cuban doctors to practise in local clinics, arguing that the foreign medics were single sourced to the disadvantage of local counterparts.
Samson Robert Misango says in court papers that there has been no evidence that Kenya has a shortage of doctors to fill any vacancies in the public health system. The Ministry of Health has yet to advertise any such vacancies, making their existence questionable.
