Nairobi, May 9 -- Despite the signing of the return to work formula between doctors and the county governments, services slowly picked up in health facilities in Nyanza.

In Kisumu's main referral hospital, the doctors had not yet turned up in their numbers as expected.

A spot check at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital revealed that only 35 doctors had reported to work against 100 usually working at the facility.

However, the hospital's administration hopes their numbers will increase in the coming days.

But for patients, the calling off of the doctor's strike is a major relief for many who couldn't get medical attention.
