The family of a Kenyan doctor who allegedly committed suicide in Cuba is yet to receive a postmortem report.
“The [postmortem] report has not been shared with the family, we are still in the dark. We are very frustrated, but we will soldier on. Our brother will be buried in Likoni,” a relative who sought anonymity told Nation.
Dr Juma was undertaking postgraduate diploma course in family medicine in Cuba. His body will arrive in Mombasa on Friday from the Caribbean country for burial according to Islamic customs.
The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has called for immediate termination of the training programme in Cuba.
Kenyan doctors have started a hashtag #bringbackourdoctors on Twitter to compel the government to repatriate their colleagues.
KMPDU Deputy Secretary-General Chibanzi Mwachonda said Kenyan doctors studying in Cuba were frustrated.
