In a move to enhance transparency and public safety, the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) has launched an SMS short code, 20547, enabling citizens to quickly confirm the credentials of healthcare professionals and facilities across Kenya.
By providing a simple and accessible method of verifying healthcare credentials, the initiative aims to significantly enhance patient safety and reinforce compliance with regulatory standards, ultimately protecting the public.
The short code is designed to provide individuals with an accessible and straightforward way to confirm the legitimacy of healthcare professionals and facilities.
Expanding its reach, the service also verifies medical camp registration and licensure, reinforcing the medical council's commitment to eliminating unqualified practitioners and maintaining high medical standards across Kenya.
