KMPDU threatens to paralyze operations in all hospitals in Machakos County

The Kenya Medical Practitioners, pharmacists, and dentists Union (KMPDU) has threatened to paralyze operations in all hospitals in Machakos if the county continues to ignore the striking medics' cry. KMPDU Secretary General Davji Atella announced they will recall all doctors by next week and stage a demonstration following months of unresolved strikes. Meanwhile, medics have announced plans to camp at the ministry of health offices starting tomorrow to demand payment for interns even as doctors at Nairobi Hospital issued a one-week strike notice, calling for the resignation of the hospital's management board.
