The government is set to host a health summit next year aimed at discussing challenges facing the sector.
According to Council of Governors chairman Josphat Nanok, the meeting will take place before March.
“We have planned this conference with the Health ministry and all these issues will be discussed,” he said.
He made the revelations during the signing of an agreement to recognise the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers.
Top on the agenda will be the controversial Health Act which was signed into law by President Uhuru Kenyatta in June.
The law reserves all administrative jobs in the health system for doctors.
It bars nurses and clinical officers from managing any facility bigger than a dispensary and health centre, even if they acquire management degrees.
