Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has issued a strike notice that will commence in January 2023. Through a press conference, the doctors said the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) that was signed in 2017-21 should be implemented.<\/p>\n

“County governments and parastatals have abandoned the implementation of the CBA, ignoring basic salary adjustments, creation of call rooms and posting of medical interns,” they said.<\/p>\n

The doctors also claimed that more than 1000 interns have stayed at home for more than a year awaiting posting, employment and provision of working tools.<\/p>\n

“This is a constant consultations that would make industrial harmony possible,” they said. KMPDU also want the shortage of doctors in hospitals to be addressed before they go back to work.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“It is immoral to see our people suffer in hospitals, having to queue for long, unable to get proper care yet we have trained doctors who would otherwise save their lives.”<\/p>\n
