Why is it so hard for new doctors to get jobs in Kenya?
\u201cThe country has spent so much training us \u2013 and yet we are still wallowing in joblessness right now.\u201d
According to the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council, only around 1,000 out of the 5,000 medical students who\u2019ve graduated in the past five years have found jobs as doctors.
And yet the World Health Organisation says Kenya has a shortage of medics \u2013 and needs more if it\u2019s to deliver the healthcare the population needs.
So what exactly is the reason behind qualified doctors not being able get a job?
