The Ugandan government has finalized plans to import 200 specialized Doctors from Cuba to address the challenges affecting the health sector in the country following the strike action of local doctors.

The doctors went on strike fed up with what they say are the lowest wages in Africa and a lack of resources.

They are demanding that their salaries, currently starting at just $260 a month for junior doctors, increased 10-fold, as well as benefits like cars and domestic workers.

The imported doctors are to be a backup to doctors who lay down tools.
