Government, doctors begin CBA talks as union targets December deal
The Ministry of Health and KMPDU begin negotiations on the 2025–2029 doctors' CBA on October 26, with the union targeting a December deal and separate talks with county governments scheduled for October 29 and 30.
The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has initiated talks with the government to negotiate a new four-year Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for doctors, with the goal of reaching a deal by December 2026. The government and KMPDU will begin discussions on October 26 in Mombasa, following the Ministry of Health's submission of a counter-proposal to the union's demands in August.
The union has shifted from agitation to structured dialogue, aiming to secure improved terms of service, better welfare, and a more dignified working environment for medical professionals.
