The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists’ Union (KMPDU) has written to the University of Nairobi (UoN), demanding urgent measures to protect the welfare of medical registrars, who it says are being overworked and unfairly treated.
In a letter addressed to the Dean of Students, Faculty of Health Sciences, KMPDU Secretary General Dr. Davji Atellah clarified that registrars are not hospital employees but postgraduate students under the university’s academic programs.
