케냐 의학 협회 2018 (KMA) 회의

Kenya Medical Association (KMA) is a voluntary membership organization open to all medical and dental

practitioners registered in the Republic of Kenya.

It was founded in 1968 and currently has close to 3000 members. The Association has the following

mandate:

• To promote the practice of medicine in Kenya.

• To uphold high standards of medical ethics and conduct.

• To advice the Government, other medical bodies and the general public on matters related to health.

• To promote the welfare of doctors.

• To maintain the honor and interest of the medical profession.

• To support continuing professional development (CPD) through periodic publications, seminars and

scientific conferences.

• To liaise with medical associations around the world.

KMA works closely with the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board (MPDB). It has joined its sister

organizations within the East Africa region to form a cooperation in the health sector together with the

medical regulatory bodies and the Ministries of Health. Under this initiative the three East African

Associations formed the Federation of East African Medical and Dental Associations (FEMDA) in which

KMA is an active member.
