KMPDU has urged the Health Ministry to withdraw medical interns from Kiambu county, citing poor training conditions and risks posed by an ongoing doctors' strike.

The medics under the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists' Union (KMPDU) and the KUSO have stated they won't treat those injured during demos.

KMPDU hailed William Ruto government for posting over 6,000 healthcare interns, calling it a historic step in boosting Kenya's public health system

The Ministry of Health urged 6,484 pre-interns posted for July deployment to collect their letters from the Afya House on June 30, sparking celebrations from KMPDU.

KMPDU has threatened to escalate Kiambu’s doctors’ strike into a national shutdown, citing unpaid salaries, stalled promotions, and grounded ambulances.

The High Court declined to overturn a decision in which former Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome was found guilty of brutalising striking doctors.

Kiambu medics accused the county government, led by Kimani Wamatangi, of failing to address their grievances and in action despite issuing a 21-day strike notice.

Tharaka Nithi county finally promoted 21 doctors without interviews under a KMPDU deal, joining Nandi and Nyeri in implementing key healthcare reforms.
