The union claimed that the decision to send Dr. Khandwalla on interdiction was not based on professional grounds but was influenced by outside forces.
KMPDU leaders said the situation has created tension among medical staff at the facility.
According to the union, doctors and other health workers are concerned that such actions could affect service delivery and disrupt operations at one of the largest referral hospitals in the Coast region.
The union argued that hospital leadership should be guided by professional standards and legal procedures, not political interests.
They insisted that if their concerns are not addressed within seven days, doctors will withdraw their services, leading to a strike.
KMPDU Secretary General and other officials warned that the planned industrial action would affect services at Coast General Hospital and could extend further if the matter is not resolved.
They said their main demand is the reinstatement of Dr. Khandwalla, whom they described as a competent and experienced administrator.
According to the union, the interdiction has created uncertainty within the hospital, with some staff fearing that decisions are being made without proper consultation.
KMPDU maintains that health facilities should be protected from political wrangles to ensure patients continue receiving uninterrupted care.
The hospital, located in Mombasa County, serves thousands of patients from across the Coast region and neighboring counties.
It is a key referral center handling specialized cases, making stability in its leadership critical.
Union leaders have called on county authorities to engage in dialogue before the seven-day notice expires.
They emphasized that doctors are ready to talk and find a solution, but they will not hesitate to act if their concerns are ignored.
