Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentist Council, KMPDC, is a medical board mandated by Kenyan Law to regulate the training, practice and licensing of medicine & dentistry and healthcare institutions. These include private and mission hospitals, medical, dental centres and clinics, nursing and maternity homes, and standalone funeral homes.

It is good to enroll in an approved medical, dental, surgery, and pharmacy school in Kenya so that whatever medical course you intend to pursue will be recognized by KMPDC.
Otherwise, it will be illegal to offer medical services in Kenya with professional certificates that are not recognized by the medical council.
