The Health Cabinet Secretary, Aden Duale, has issued a stern warning to the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) against licensing non-compliant medical facilities in the country.
Speaking on Tuesday, April 22, the CS said that officers from the council found engaging in malpractice will face consequences. "It will not be business as usual," he said.
Duale has revealed that the ministry's Digital Health Agency will spearhead the identification and the weeding out of unqualified medical practitioners across the country. "Duale called on the Council to uphold integrity, transparency, and service to the public as stipulated under Section 33(2) of the 2023 Social Health Insurance Act," the ministry said.
