The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has issued a 30-day strike ultimatum to the Ministry of Health over the intern doctors wage crisis.
Led by Secretary General Davji Atellah, KMPDU announced the decision to call for another strike after the culmination of a town hall meeting with intern doctors at Ufungamano Hall. "We are giving the government 30 days to solve this issue of payment and posting of medical interns.
Otherwise, on March 18, 2025, we will start a series of weekly demonstrations," Atellah remarked.
The looming strike comes after a video of Health Cabinet Secretary Deborah Barasa speaking at the Health Summit 2025 at Deputy President Kithure Kindiki's Karen residence on Monday, February 17, surfaced.
