The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC), working closely with the Digital Health Agency (DHA) and Social Health Authority (SHA), has identified and closed over 728 non-compliant facilities and downgraded 301 facilities through digitization.
Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale said Monday that they are eliminating unlicensed facilities operating across the country to guarantee quality of care for citizens.
Giving an update on the Taifa Care Rollout in his office, the CS said that the government's digital transformation, through the Comprehensive Integrated Health Information System and implemented by the Digital Health Agency, is the foundation of an efficient and transparent healthcare system. "We are digitizing all aspects of healthcare, from patient records to facility operations, to eliminate fraud, reduce inefficiencies, and ensure seamless service delivery," Duale said.
He explained that the comprehensive integrated health information system enables real-time data sharing between hospitals and national and county governments, improving decision-making and accountability across the health sector.
