The doctors union in Kenya says doctors in private and faith-based medical organisations are to join striking public doctors in protest at the jailing of seven union officials.
The seven were jailed for a month for contempt of court after failing to comply with an order to end the strike, which has paralysed public medical facilities for weeks.
The union has been tweeting from its official account:

20 years from now when we don’t have to go to India for specialised treatment. We will remember the struggle wasn’t in vain #HealthCrisisKe— bijoux (@wambui_njugunah) February 13, 2017
Kenya’s Channel 1 is reporting that doctors belonging to the Kenya Medical Association are also joining strike action:
