Hospitals, clinics, and dental practices seeking new or renewed licences must now register online after the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) issued fresh directives requiring all health facilities to shift to modernised healthcare regulations.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, May 20, KMPDC revealed the major shift from manual paperwork to a fully digital system expected to enhance transparency, efficiency, and data security across the sector. "In a move to modernize healthcare regulation, KMPDC has launched a fully digital health facility registration system.
This initiative aligns with the Council's broader mandate to streamline operations, promote transparency, and enhance service delivery," the statement read in part.
The new mandate requires all hospitals, clinics, and dental practices to submit their registration applications via an online portal instead of using the traditional paper-based process.
