Nairobi, Kenya - - The Ministry of Health has intensified efforts to uphold the integrity of the health sector by weeding out unqualified practitioners.

Medical Services Principal Secretary, Dr Ouma Oluga, says the Ministry has begun digitising health workers to ensure that only qualified professionals attend to patients in all public and private health facilities.

Speaking during the 110th anniversary of Kijabe Hospital in Kiambu County , Dr Oluga emphasised that this move is part of wider reforms aimed at streamlining service delivery and protecting patient safety.

He also noted that the Ministry is investing in capacity building to align the health workforce with emerging medical expertise.

Dr Oluga applauded the contribution of private health facilities in advancing Universal Health Coverage and encouraged Kenyans to register for the Social Health Authority (SHA) medical scheme by dialling *147#.

“Let us work together to strengthen healthcare systems and ensure access to safe, qualified, and affordable care for all,” he said.
