358 US Doctors Issued with Licenses to Work in Kenya
A Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board (KMPDB) 2018 report shows that there are 358 American doctors currently working in the country.
This means that United States has the highest number of foreign medical practitioners licensed to operate in Kenya. The report indicates that there is a total of 1,019 foreign doctors authorized to practice Kenya by end of March, 358 of them being from the US.
149 of the US doctors are working at Tenwek Hospital in Bomet County, 86 in AIC Kijabe Hospital, 42 at Ampath Brase Clinic, while PCEA Chogoria Clinic and AIC Cure International Hospital had 15 each.
KMPDB chief executive, Daniel Yumbya said that there are two American medics in Kenyatta National Hospital, Kisumu’s Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Hospital and Eldoret’s Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. Nine others operate at the Thika Referral Hospital.
In Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo has the highest number of medics practicing in Kenya with 45 doctors. The number of foreign doctors in Kenya is expected to rise when 100 Cuban doctors arrive in the country on May 28th.
Each of the 47 counties will get two Cuban doctors.

As Kenyans are deported from the US, here we are issuing work permits to American doctors. And you know these guys will never ever come back to America. They will marry locals and stay in Kenya permanently. Ironic

Better these American doctors than our own who will not brink to ask for a bribe from a dying patient! Our Kenyan doctors are a joke(majority). They also divert medical supplies, and their own services to their own private practice clinics, at the expense of poor Wanjiku. Visit Kijabe hospital and some of its kind you see where professionalism resides at, and where our healthcare should roughly be at..

@mteja, umesema kweli, most kenyans doctors tell patients to see them in their own clinics. They go to public hospital to shop for customers. Better American doctors 300 times
