The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists, and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has begun formal negotiations with the Ministry of Health to secure better pay and working conditions for doctors.

Talks started on October 26, with county government negotiations expected to start later. The union aims to conclude its 2025–2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) by December 2026.

KMPDU will seek improved terms of service, stronger protections for doctors’ welfare, and better working conditions. A 12-member team will negotiate agreements with both national and county governments.
