After today's meeting, Ruto said the meeting is in line with his administration's commitment of ensuring consistent address to the persistent human resource challenges that slow down the realisation of Universal Health Coverage well known as the UHC.

"The government will continually engage stakeholders in the health sector, including health workers' unions, to promote industrial harmony and long-lasting solutions to the challenges," SAID Ruto.

On its part, the union committed to championing and supporting the universal healthcare agenda and the rolling out of social health insurance to all Kenyans.

KMPDU was represented by Secretary General Davji Atellah.

Others present at the meeting were Health of Public Service Felix Kosgei, Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha and Principal Secretary in the State Department of Public Health and Professional Standards Mary Muthoni.
