The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) was formed in August 2011. Within the last six years, this union has galvanized the Kenyan doctors together, agitated for healthcare policy reforms and successfully negotiated and registered a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Though political will and the national citizens' psyche on matters pertaining to public healthcare remain a challenge, this union has made its foot prints on the Kenyan conversation space. KMPDU looks forward to engaging local, regional and international health stake holders to improve the state of the country's health care, key among these being to have a national commission handling all the human resources for health.
肯尼亚医学从业者、药剂师和牙医联盟(KMPDU)成立于2011年8月。在过去六年里,该联盟将肯尼亚医生团结在一起,鼓动进行医疗政策改革,并成功谈判并登记了一份集体谈判协议(CBA)。尽管在与公共医疗相关的问题上,政治意愿和国民心态仍然是一个挑战,但该联盟在肯尼亚的舆论空间留下了印记。KMPDU期待与地方、区域和国际卫生利益相关者合作,以改善该国的医疗状况,其中关键的一点是设立一个国家委员会来处理所有卫生人力资源问题。
