Kenya’s medical regulator has given ambulance owners until July 17, to register their vehicles or face regulatory action.
The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) issued a public notice on Tuesday, June 30, directing all public, private and faith-based ambulance providers to submit registration through the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) portal.
The Council said the exercise targets safe, quality pre-hospital emergency care and compliance with the country's legal framework.
The directive accompanied publication of the 2026 Register of Licensed Medical and Dental Practitioners, Health Facilities and Ambulance Providers, which allows Kenyans to verify whether healthcare providers are legally licensed before seeking treatment.
