Kenya: Government, Doctors Begin CBA Talks As Union Targets December Deal
[Capital FM] Nairobi -- The government and doctors' union will begin negotiations on a new four-year Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) on Monday, October 26, with the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) targeting a final deal by December.
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.
