Item 1 of 2 Doctors and medical practitioners under the Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union participate in a demonstration to demand payment of their salary arrears and the immediate hiring of trainee doctors, among other grievances, in Nairobi, Kenya, April 16, 2024.
Television footage showed the union's officials and senior government officials shaking hands after signing the documents. "One thing we must assure everybody, every doctor, every person that the rights of workers as enshrined in the collective bargaining agreement that is signed is that it is sacrosanct, we will always endeavour to protect that," Dhavji Atellah, KMPDU's secretary general, said.
The Kenyan health sector, which doctors say is underfunded and understaffed, is routinely beset by strikes.
