The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentist Union has issued a nationwide strike notice effective today at midnight.

KMPDU Secretary-General Davji Atellah, in a statement on Wednesday, March 13, said the decision was arrived at owing to a lack of consensus with the government on issues affecting healthcare workers across the country.
