The Medical Association of Tanzania has questioned the move by it's government to send 500 Tanzanian doctors to Kenya.
The association has cited safety concerns and the unimplemented agreement between Kenya and its doctors.
“The association would like to know who will be responsible for the safety of the foreign doctors, given that there are already indicators of hate.
“We would also wish to know why this request has been made during the strike, and the implementation has to come a few days after the agreement to terminate the strike,” read a statement sent to newsrooms.
This is after Tanzanian President John Magufuli announced the plan to send 500 doctors to Kenya to help address the shortage of health workers.
The move was also intended to mitigate effects of the just ended 100-day doctors strike.
