The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has successfully come to an agreement with the government to end their strike. This move marks a critical step toward resolving the pressing issues faced by the country’s medical interns, with immediate actions being taken to ensure their posting.

The agreement entails the immediate issuance of posting letters to all medical interns, which are ready for collection today. This will enable the interns to commence their duties on August 1st, a move that promises to alleviate some of the staffing shortages experienced in healthcare facilities across the country.

The KMPDU, under the leadership of Secretary General Dr. Davji Atellah, has expressed optimism regarding the agreement. Dr. Atellah stated, “We’re optimistic that this initiative will pave the way for a more stable and supportive environment for our healthcare professionals, ultimately enhancing the quality of healthcare services provided to the public.”

While the posting issue has been resolved, the matter of remuneration remains a contentious point. The initial consolidated salary of KES 70,000 was revoked, leading to uncertainty about the financial compensation for the interns. The KMPDU and the government have agreed to continue discussions to reach a final determination on the remuneration issue.

The KMPDU remains committed to advocating for the rights and welfare of medical professionals. Dr. Atellah reiterated the union’s dedication to working with the government to address the remaining challenges and improve the overall conditions for healthcare workers.
