The business community in Eldoret has petitioned President William Ruto to dialogue with the doctors' union KMPDU to end the ongoing strike.
Representatives of the traders said the strike had caused a lot of pain and suffering to Kenyans.
The traders said it was wrong for anyone to downplay the role played by medics.
The traders who spoke in Eldoret were led by Stephen Mugwira and Njuguna Mwiko.
"It's embarrassing that in modern days we can allow doctors to be on strike for over a month," Mwiko said.
Mwiko and Mugwira asked President Ruto to dialogue with the doctors.
The traders said doctors should be given what they are demanding so that they resume work immediately.
The traders said the protection of lives was more important than anything else in the county.
"You can not compare the role played by doctors to any other profession. This is about life and death and we should not frustrate our medics anymore," Mwiko said.
The traders said there was nothing wrong with the government calling the medics on the dialogue table so that an agreement could be reached to end the strike.
Doctors in Eldoret on Monday took to the streets as a continuation of the ongoing strike to push for better tems of service.
The demos on the streets of Eldoret were led by KMPDU officials led by branch chairman Dr Kamonzi Mulei.
The doctors from the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, county hospitals and other medical institutions in the region were joined by clinical officers and nurses from hospitals in the region.
"We will remain on the streets until the government meets our demands," Dr Mulei said.
He said their main demand remains the full implementation of the delayed 2017 CBA agreement.
