The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) has launched a fully digital health facility registration system.
KMPDC said the initiative aligns with its broader mandate to streamline operations, promote transparency and enhance service delivery.
“The shift from a paper-based process to a secure, user-friendly digital platform is part of KMPDC's long-term strategy to harness technology in line with the government's digital transformation agenda,” the council said.
It stated that applicants are guided through a step-by-step interface to provide institutional information, including facility name, location, and classification, details of director(s), services offered, personnel available, and certified documentation to demonstrate compliance with applicable laws.
The digitised system enhances data accuracy, enables automated validation and ensures real-time audit trails.
Further, centralised digital records improve retrieval and updates.
It also allows 24/7 access for applicants and streamlines internal workflows through automated alerts and approvals.
“Importantly, registration is granted only after verification of all submitted information,” KMPDC said.
The Council added that any discrepancies result in rejection, underscoring the need for accurate and honest submissions.
Once inspected by KMPDC officers, applications are processed within 21 working days from the date of inspection.
The platform is fully compliant with the Data Protection Act, 2019, protecting applicants' sensitive information through encrypted submissions, automated logs and strict access controls.
To enhance customer experience, applicants will receive updates via email of every step of the registration process until the final approval.
KMPDC said the online application is more than a system upgrade; it's a transformation on how the Council deliver's its mandate
By embracing technology, KMPDC is making the process more transparent, efficient and accessible.
The digital shift not only simplifies access to registration but also reinforces public confidence in Kenya's healthcare regulatory framework.
