KMPDU threatens another strike over unmet promises from State

The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has threatened to instruct its members to go on strike  in the next two weeks over the non implementation of a return-to-work agreement with the county governments.

The Union says that a court order to promote doctors and the provide health insurance to medical practitioners has not been honored.

Speaking in Nakuru during an engagement with the Union's stakeholders, the Union's Secretary General Davji Atellah called on the government to iron out matter crippling the health sector among them reviewing the social health insurance.

Atellah noted that out patients are not considered enough, forcing them to dig in their pockets which will subject them to more suffering.

The KMPDU have staged previous protests against the government over unmet promises.

Led by Atellah, the Union has lamented the poor working conditions medics have been subjected to, arguing that the State has turned a blind eye to honoring its endless list of promises.
