Kenya is set to make a major leap in healthcare digitization as Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale on Friday led high-level consultations on the proposed Digital Health Regulations 2025.
During a meeting with the National Assembly Committee on Delegated Legislation, chaired by Ainabkoi MP Samuel Chepkonga, stakeholders reviewed the draft regulations currently at the pre-publication stage.
The session, held at a hotel in Kiambu, focused on laying a legal foundation for the nationwide adoption of digital health systems.
The proposed regulations are expected to streamline patient registration, enhance the tracking of medical records, and improve healthcare service delivery across the country.
“These regulations are key to ensuring affordable, accessible, and high-quality healthcare for all Kenyans. They will also help eliminate fraud and curb the menace of unqualified medical practitioners,” said CS Duale.
The framework aligns with national priorities under Vision 2030 and the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), in which healthcare access and efficiency are central goals.
Other senior officials present included Medical Services Principal Secretary Harry Kimtai, Acting CEO of the Digital Health Agency (DHA) Anthony Lenaiyara, Senior Counsel Edith Torome, and Ministry of Health representatives.
The Digital Health Regulations 2025 are part of a broader government push to integrate technology into the public health sector, improving financial sustainability and service outcomes.
Once finalized, they will provide a legal basis for digital innovations such as electronic health records, telemedicine, and health data protection.
