    Medical services in Kwale County are set to resume fully after the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) called off the doctors’ strike following the signing of a Return-to-Work Formula with the county government.

    The agreement, which was reached during a meeting held at the Governor’s boardroom, includes key commitments on promotions, opportunities for training, and improvements to general working conditions in health facilities across the county.

    The strike, which began on June 29, 2025, had seen doctors raise concerns over delayed promotions, lack of training opportunities, and poor working conditions, leading to a near-paralysis of essential health services.

    Speaking after the signing of the agreement, Kwale Governor Fatuma Achani expressed optimism about the renewed partnership between the county government and healthcare workers.

    “This agreement reflects our commitment to supporting our doctors and ensuring that the people of Kwale continue to receive quality health services. Healthcare is a right, and we will honour the terms of this deal fully,”the Governor said.

    The Governor also praised the resilience of the health sector and noted that Kwale County continues to prioritize the welfare of its residents through continuous investment in health infrastructure and personnel.

    On his part, KMPDU Secretary General Davji Bhinji Atellah welcomed the deal, urging doctors to resume duty within 24 hours.

    “We are satisfied with the commitments made by the County government of Kwale. As KMPDU, we will monitor the implementation of the agreed terms to ensure doctors’ rights are respected and that they serve the people effectively,” he stated.

    The agreement outlines clear timelines for promotions and training programs, and the county has pledged to address long-standing administrative and facility-level challenges raised by the union.

    Residents can now breathe a sigh of relief as health services are expected to normalize swiftly.

    The county government has assured the public that mechanisms are in place to prevent future disruptions and to enhance dialogue with health workers.

    This development emphasises Kwale County’s continued effort to take care of its people and to strengthen the delivery of public health services through collaboration and accountability.

    Also present was County Secretary Sylvia Chidodo, Kwale Public Service Board Chairman Festus Sombo, CECM Health Francis Gwama, County Attorney Salim Gombeni as well KMPDU Chairman Abidan Mwachi and KMPDU Coast region Chairman Niko Gichana.
