Progress Made, Challenges Ahead, and a Clear Agenda for Kenya’s Health Workforce NAIROBI: August 18, 2026 The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) today participated in the Inaugural Health Summit 2026, where the Union presented a comprehensive assessment of the state of Kenya’s health sector before H.E. President William Samoei Ruto, Cabinet Secretary for Health Hon. Aden Duale,
Our vision is to become one of the most effective and self-reliant Medical Doctors’ trade unions in the world.
The leaders are elected by membership votes and hold office for a maximum of 2 terms each of which can last for a duration of 5 years.
As the premier doctor’s union in Kenya, we want to be sure that all our members are always in the right state of mental health, physical health and social well being in order to effectively take care of the nation.
KMPDU aims to unite doctors of all cadres for quality service, socio economic improvement, professional advancement and strengthen their collective bargaining power, to promote quality health care.
As a union, our number one priority is to unite Doctors of all cadres and qualifications in Kenya. And to provide means for co-operation among the Doctors and the expression of their collective opinions, views and decisions.
We strive to ensure effective representation of the doctors on the Government, public and private sectors or organizations, where such representation may be required.
We try to settle disputes between members of the Union or between its members and their employers and to regulate their relations between them by collective and constitutional means.
The union aims to raise and maintain professional standards and status, and to watch the administration of the various healthcare provision codes, ordinances, regulations, minutes and circulars.
The Union provides general and specialized medical screening and care to the people residing in the remote and usually far to reach areas of the country as well as sensitize and advise them on emerging and existing health issues, through our free medical camps program.
The union assists members in organizing fund drives to solicit support for charitable work, social campaigns, education and benevolence.
The union partners with and Co-operate with other societies, bodies, associations, unions or organizations within or outside Kenya having Objectives together or in part similar to the objectives of the Union.

“It is about how people treat one another. It is about human dignity. We work with the employers to treat us as equals, to sit down and talk to us about the work we do, how we do it, and what we get paid for it. There’s no any way for working people to win basic economic justice and dignity except by being organized into a solid, democratic union.” ~ Harry Bridges
