What are the immediate consequences of the KMPPDU's planned strike on healthcare services in Kenya?

The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists, and Dentists Union (KMPPDU) will issue strike notices to the national and 47 county governments on December 2nd, 2024, due to unmet demands for improved remuneration and welfare. This follows the ratification of a proposal by over 600 delegates at their Special Delegates Conference. The health workers will strike unless the government fully implements the Return to Work Formula (RTWF) signed on May 8th, 2024, pays CBA arrears, and restores intern doctor salaries as per the CBA.
