A seven-day strike notice has been issued by doctors, which will start on Monday of next week. 

The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU) held a nonviolent protest in Nairobi on Monday, calling for changes to the policies that led to the death of their Secretary General, Davji Atellah, at a protest that was held in the same city last week. 

On Thursday, while the medics were pressuring the government to post medical interns, Atellah was hit by a tear gas canister.
