NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 26 – The government and doctors’ union will begin negotiations on a new four-year Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) on Monday, October 26, with the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) targeting a final deal by December.
The talks, covering the 2025–2029 cycle, mark a shift towards structured negotiations after the union’s leadership resolved to pursue dialogue with the government and county administrations over doctors’ terms of service.
In a letter dated October 13, Principal Secretary for Public Health and Professional Standards Mary Muthoni Muriuki invited KMPDU Secretary General Davji Atellah to an inaugural negotiation meeting scheduled for October 26 and 27 in Mombasa.
