Kenya's medical council says it properly checks all foreign doctors before they work in the country. David Kariuki, who runs the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council, wants people to know that they carefully review everyone.
The council aims to keep patients safe with strong healthcare standards. It follows clear rules from national laws about who can practice medicine in Kenya, which tell it how to ensure doctors have the right skills.
His comments came after the doctors' union asked officials to look into foreign doctor hiring. The union worries about unethical practices and organ trafficking cases. They feel it's unfair when Kenyan doctors are jobless despite their education.
Kariuki mentioned they're checking all licensed foreign doctors as the Health Minister requested. They plan to share their findings within three months. The council promises to keep making sure all healthcare meets quality standards for everyone in Kenya.
