The doctors' strike that has paralysed medical services in all public hospitals for over three months is close to an end following an announcement made on Tuesday.
Speaking at the Court of Appeal, legal representatives for the doctors together with their government counterparts stated that they had reached an agreement to end the prolonged industrial action.
They added that they had reached an agreement with the National and County Governments and were finalising on a return-to-work formula which would be deposited in the court by noon.
The legal teams further assured a consent would also be filed in the court before the end of the day.
In the agreement, the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) officials have maintained that its members should not be victimised when returning to work and should be paid for the 100 days they had downed their tools.
They, however, maintained that they would sign the agreement after reading all the clauses.
Last week, the government withdrew a Sh50 Billion offer given to the medics after they insisted on implementation of the 2013 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
Consequently, the counties began issuing dismissal letters to the doctors who failed to adhere to an order for them to resume duty immediately.
Further, the government insisted that it would not resume any more negotiations with the medical practitioners unless they first return to work.
