PRESS STATEMENT REGARDING THE ONGOING DOCTORS’ STRIKE

Chairman CoG2019

Members of the Press,
Citizens of Kenya,
On 6th March 2024, the Kenya Medical, Pharmacist and Dentist Union (KMPDU) issued a strike notice citing key issues pertaining to the welfare of their Union members that they perceive to have remained unaddressed since 30th June 2017 and 6th July 2021 by the Council of Governors, Ministry of health and union officials.
Further, the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) moved to court and obtained a court order dated 13th March 2024 directing a stay in the taking effect of the strike notice and going on strike by the union members. Since the court ordered that the strike is stayed, we urge the doctors to show good will and return to work as negotiations go on.
Today, the Council of Governors held an Extra-Ordinary Meeting to address the demands raised by the Doctors’ Union which include;
1. Delayed posting of interns;
2. Extension of contracts for UHC staff
3. Payment of fees for doctors on postgraduate training;
4. Payment of arrears of basic salaries as per the 2017 CBA and;
5. Provision of comprehensive Medical Insurance
We will therefore address you on the resolutions from our meeting and share the Council position on this matter;
