Striking doctors threaten to shut down medical training schools

All medical schools in the country shall remain closed until the doctors’ impasse has been resolved, striking medics have said following unsuccessful negotiations with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The Kenya Medical Practitioners, pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) had earlier warned that activity in all the nine medical schools will be shut by January 10 if the government would not have implemented the July 2013 collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
