At KMPDU, we are committed to championing the rights and welfare of our doctors, and this commitment is at the forefront of our push for the full implementation of the 2024 Return-to-Work Formula (RTWF) at Mathari Hospital. This crucial step aims to address the persistent pay gaps that have long affected healthcare professionals and to tackle the critical shortage of staff that continues to strain service delivery.
Our advocacy efforts are also focused on supporting Mathari Hospital’s transition to a parastatal status. This shift is essential for enhancing the hospital’s operational efficiency, improving resource allocation, and ultimately elevating the quality of healthcare services provided to patients. A parastatal structure will ensure better governance and sustainability, benefiting both healthcare workers and the communities they serve.
Moving forward, we will intensify our lobbying efforts and engage proactively with key stakeholders, particularly within the Ministry of Health. Through strategic actions and unwavering advocacy, we aim to amplify the voices of our doctors, ensuring their concerns are addressed and that every patient receives the high standard of care they deserve.
