NAIROBI: Oct 1, 2025
At the KMPDU National Office, we recently hosted registrars from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) to discuss ongoing disruptions affecting their postgraduate clinical training at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH).
The registrars raised several pressing concerns, including halted teaching sessions, missed clinical rotations, delayed examinations, and postponed graduations, particularly in specialties like dermatology and internal medicine. These disruptions are not just administrative hurdles, they directly impact bonding, supervised learning, and the timely progression of trainees into the healthcare workforce.
KMPDU remains steadfast in supporting our members, advocating for structured, supervised clinical training, and ensuring that universities and hospitals work constructively together to safeguard the quality and continuity of postgraduate education.
We are calling for urgent clarity and actionable solutions, and we look forward to a joint meeting with JKUAT, KNH, and student representatives to agree on a practical, time-bound plan. Our goal is to prevent unnecessary delays, ensure fair assessment, and secure a safe and smooth path for all trainees into professional practice.
KMPDU continues to stand with our members, ensuring their rights, training, and future in healthcare are protected and prioritized.
