The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union has announced that doctors in Nairobi will be holding a protest on Tuesday, March 18, 2025.
According to KMPDU, the protest aims to push for the posting of medical interns and the establishment of a Public Officer Medical Fund.
The union emphasised that these issues have been ignored for too long, leaving many doctors, medical interns, and medical workers frustrated.

The mega demos will be led by KMPDU Secretary General Davji Atela and the Union of Kenya Civil Servants(UKCS) Secretary General Tom Odege.
The unions have moreover called on all doctors and healthcare workers to gather at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) before marching to express their demands.
Talking to the government, the union has urged it to address these ongoing concerns affecting medical doctors before the demos begin.
Negotiations between KMPDU and the government have mostly ended without a lasting solution, leading to repeated strikes.
