The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) has announced it will take disciplinary action against medical practitioners who endorsed or participated in unverified faith healing claims at a recent religious crusade in Nakuru. This follows widespread reports of alleged miraculous cures for serious illnesses, including HIV/AIDS and cancer, during an event led by Prophet David Owuor.

• The KMPDC condemns statements by medics based on unverified claims, emphasizing that medical treatments must be grounded in evidence-based medicine.
• Dr. David Kariuki, KMPDC Chief Executive Officer, reaffirmed the Council’s commitment to safeguarding public health and upholding medical ethics.
• The controversy arose from an end-of-year crusade in Nakuru that drew thousands of worshippers, where individuals claimed miraculous healing from various ailments.
