The Ministry of Health has signalled a major shift in healthcare regulation with plans to digitally track and verify all medical practitioners and health processes across the country.
Speaking during a consultative meeting with Development Partners in Health Kenya (DPHK), Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale announced that, under the government's digitisation agenda, only certified and registered professionals will be permitted to provide healthcare services.
He noted that digitisation will enhance service delivery, enable telemedicine, track and trace health products to end users, and ensure only qualified professionals provide care. ''We are building an integrated digital framework to align donor support with national goals and ensure long-term sustainability,'' Duale said.
