Doctors countrywide will go on strike from December 28, 2022 after the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU) declared a 30-day strike notice on November 28.

The KMPDU says the industrial action is as a result of the government's failure to honour a July 2017 collective bargaining agreement.
