A Kenyan High Court judge has directed the Ministry of Health and a group of Congolese doctors to seek an amicable settlement regarding their practicing licenses. This follows a legal challenge by 50 Congolese doctors who claim the government arbitrarily denied their license renewals.

• Lawyer Danstan Omari stated that 50 Congolese doctors have been barred from practicing in Kenya.
• The Ministry of Health cites a lack of a mutual framework document from the Democratic Republic of Congo as a reason for the license issue.
• Diplomatic discussions are ongoing between the two countries to resolve the dispute out of court.
• The doctors are seeking to quash the decision declining renewal of their practicing licenses and work permits for 2026.
• They claim the new requirement of "letters of no objection" from the Cabinet Secretary for Health did not previously exist.
