Austin Omondi, a doctor who was allegedly abducted while conducting a blood donation drive at Sikh Union, has been released.
The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists' Union (KMPDU) says current medical interns, who missed their April salaries, will receive it alongside their June pay.
Doctors union says it is committed to resolving interns’ issues through ongoing negotiations with the government after they signed a deal that ended a 56-day industrial action.
The meeting aimed at de-escalating tensions that have persisted between the union and the government through the Health Ministry.
MPDU National Chair Dr. Abidan MwachiMwachi laughed off plans by the Cabinet Secretary to introduce new annual contracts for civil servants.
The Ministry of Health has drafted new policy guidelines to manage the now controversial issue of intern doctors.
