MY EXPERTISE

Driving Change in Global Health and Labor Rights

I am a passionate advocate for global health, labor rights, and pharmaceutical policy, dedicated to improving healthcare systems through research, policy development, and union leadership. With extensive experience in labor organizing and pharmaceutical research, I work to bridge the gap between healthcare professionals, policymakers, and global organizations. My expertise spans health policy advocacy, pharmacovigilance, and workforce rights, ensuring that public health services remain equitable, sustainable, and accessible.

Beyond research and policy, I actively engage in public speaking, editorial work, and thought leadership, contributing to international discussions on healthcare reforms and labor justice. As a union leader and researcher, I focus on addressing pressing challenges such as tax justice in healthcare, the impact of climate change on public health, and innovative approaches to union organizing. Through collaboration, advocacy, and strategic leadership, I strive to create meaningful, lasting change in the global healthcare landscape.

TESTIMONIALS

What People Say

Dr. Ouma Oluga

There is no doubt about your competence to be KMPDU National Treasurer. Neither is there a question about your commitment to KMPDU. You have suffered the wrath of investing your time and your energy and your ideas in doctors. You steered the strategic plan of the union. You’re one of those trained by the Global Labour University. You have established systems in North Rift that make it financially sound. You have done for KMPDU so much good. Yet that was not all you could offer.

This is the caliber of candidates KMPDU needs. I’m very very happy that people of your caliber, your qualifications are coming out to seek votes.

I wish doctors a lot of wisdom in differentiating mere populism from what it really takes to be a leader.

Dr. Stella Bosire

Leadership is track record. Leadership is commitment. Leadership is social and Financial accountability. Leadership is respect. Leadership is work-Ethics.
Dr. Mercy Nabwire is a credible Woman, tested and with spectacular track record.

Dr. Simon Kimani

Vote Dr. Mercy Nabwire
Tried and tested leader, her integrity is intact.

Dr. Bernabas Mayabi

Vote Dr. Mercy Nabwire
We make KMPDU Great Again!

Dr. Andrew Wandera

I endorse you without any reservations. You are a very good leader. All the best.

Dr. Joe Makomere

You are a TREASURED treasurer.
With Dr Mercy Anai Nabwire in office, WE shall have 4 executives;

1. A prudent Finance Manager.
2. A passionate and hawk eyed auditor.
3. The most approachable and reasonable colleague.
4. A trustworthy National Treasurer.

I will Vote for you Doc unless I'm here by disqualified for flouting the secret ballot rule.

Dr. Duncan Bosire

Endorsement from me. Mercy Anai Nabwire is my choice for national treasurer. Good record in north rift treasurer position. I only hope you will be more accountable and transparent to enhance the confidence of the membership.

Dr. Ben Lipesa

Just as days move on, KMPDU campaigns are gaining traction.
There is hope for the future.

A breather from what has been happening on the wall in the name of campaigns.
Godspeed and Good luck!

Dr. Kipkoech Ken Sargo

I endorse and support this message. I have worked with Mercy Anai Nabwire and I can attest to her diligent ways.

She is a true leader. She established proper financial controls in our branch till tukanyooka kweli.

On capacity building, we have attended so many trainings as a branch courtesy of her. She can be trusted, she can deliver and I ask we support her.
Long live KMPDU!

Dr. Dennis Miskellah

Now this is what am talking about !!!For a lady who has loved this union so much, offered herself for its success and while at it done so with so much class, poise and integrity! I have battled with endorsing you knowing that doing so would jeopardize my votes now that am vying for DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL position, but I have made up my mind that since I have been the proponent of people of honor vying, I must support such people because we are building an army of righteous men and women to take back the union to the members.

The stakes are high and my silence would have meant opposing God and his plans for this union. I ENDORSE YOU MERCY WITH ALL MY HEART BECAUSE YOU ARE A GOOD HUMAN BEING,A GREAT LEADER AND ABOVE ALL ,YOUR PREVIOUS WORKS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. Go girl!!!

Dr. Ismael Aiyabei

Having served with her in North Rift.
The commitment, competence, passion and dedication to KMPDU is unmatched.

Dr. Aloyce Rieko

In that case Congratulations Mercy Anai Nabwire... Once I support you, it's over for your opponents.. Lead us well.
