The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU) says doctors across the country will go on strike from January 6, 2023, if the government fails to fulfil agreements in a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) covering the 2017-2021 period.

KMPDU Secretary-General Dr Davji Bhimji Atellah says the intent of notice expires on December 28, 2022, after which a strike notice will be issued.
