Kenya doctors end 100-day strike 

Doctors in Kenya have agreed to end their 100-day strike that has paralysed the country's public health system.
 
Union officials representing thousands of striking medical workers have signed an agreement with government officials in the capital, Nairobi.

The doctors are to receive increased allowances as negotiations over other issues continue.

They have been demanding higher wages and better working conditions and say more doctors need to be hired.

A number of patients are reported to have died from lack of medical care during the walkout.

Kenya's Health Minister Cleopa Mailu says the authorities would do their best to ensure the people "get services quickly" without giving exact dates on when public health services would be back and running.
