Talks to end the strike by health workers in Kenya have collapsed, the BBC's Anne Soy reports from the capital, Nairobi.
The strike began yesterday and the doctors' union said not even emergency care would be provided.
Union officials walked out citing government laxity and their refusal to honor an agreement in 2013, which included a 300% pay rise for doctors, our reporter says.
Kenyan cartoonist Patrick Gathara has penned his satirical take on the strike, with Health Minister Cleopa Mailu giving some bedside reassurance to a worried patient.
