The Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists Dentists Union (KMPDU) has called of their strike after consultation with county government and the Ministry of Health.
This brings relief to Kenyans as doctors’ strike often end up with a huge loss of lives unnecessarily.
Just before Christmas 2022, KMPDU issued a 30 day strike notice which was to begin on 19th January 2023.
“Doctors continue to be trained by more than 9 universities in Kenya yet they remain unemployed and exploited to the detriment of quality of healthcare practice. Counties have extreme shortage, some even with 1 consultant serving the whole county,” they said.
