The Employment and Labour Relations Court has ordered Nairobi Hospital to allow its doctors to join a workers' union.

Justice Mathews Nduma ruled that it is illegal for the hospital to bar the doctors, pharmacists and dentists, who form the majority of the workforce, from joining the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU).
