Nairobi doctors are enduring wage theft, brutal conditions, and systemic neglect—some have gone four years without pay. Instead of addressing the crisis, the county government has resorted to mass dismissals, blatantly violating the 2017 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) that was meant to safeguard healthcare workers’ rights.
Meanwhile, patients suffer in overcrowded hospitals, facing severe shortages of medical personnel and essential resources. The consequences of this neglect are dire, jeopardizing both the well-being of doctors and the lives of those seeking medical care.
The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) stands firm in demanding immediate action to resolve this crisis and uphold the rights of both healthcare workers and patients.
