Estimated read time 1 min read

The Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) has directed Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists, and Dentists Union (KMPDU) doctors to go back to work and be present in public health hospitals to provide minimum safety services.

In his ruling, Judge Byrum Ongaya ordered KMPDU to ensure doctors of different cadres are in public hospitals to handle emergencies. The decision ends the doctors’ strike that started on March 13.

The judge was informed that the government and the doctors had reached a return-to-work formula within 30 days.
