Machakos County nurses have called off their two-week strike after sealing a return-to-work formula with county government officials this evening. The agreement followed an intense, last-minute negotiating session that resolved key sticking points and cleared the way for immediate restoration of services.
Under the deal, all nurses are expected to report back to their respective facilities tomorrow, with normal operations slated to resume across public hospitals and clinics. County administrators say briefings will be conducted at unit level to align teams on the commitments made and the implementation timetable.

Residents have been urged to seek services as usual while the county lifts contingency measures put in place during the stoppage. Officials praised the breakthrough as a win for patients and frontline staff, and signaled plans to monitor compliance closely to ensure stability in the health sector going forward.
