Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council · sources read 30 Sep 2026

Fee
We couldn't confirm a fee from the official page. Check it there before you pay.
Where
Online on the KMPDC registers (registers.kmpdc.go.ke). KMPDC offices: Woodlands Rd, Hurlingham, Nairobi
Go to KMPDC

Steps

  1. Open registers.kmpdc.go.ke and choose Licensed Practitioners, then Medical Doctors or Dentists.
  2. Search the name. Check the registration number, qualifications, specialty and that the status says ACTIVE.
  3. For a clinic or hospital, open Licensed Health Facilities (private, public or faith based) and search the facility name.
  4. Also check the Closed Health Facilities list to see if the place has been shut down.

Watch out

  • KMPDC only covers doctors, dentists and health facilities. Nurses, clinical officers and pharmacists are on other registers.
  • Doctors trained or licensed outside Kenya are on separate lists (EAC and foreign). Check those too if you can't find the name.

Who can apply

  • Anyone. The KMPDC registers of doctors, dentists and health facilities are open to the public.
