[] The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists, and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has called for an urgent investigation into the recruitment and licensing of foreign medical practitioners in the country.
The union is concerned about rising unethical practices, including organ trafficking, in private hospitals that employ many of these foreign doctors.
The union said more than 1,655 foreign medical practitioners work in Kenya, mainly in private hospitals in major cities.
The doctors are often hired under exploitative contracts, particularly those from Asian countries, according to KMPDU.
