The Kenya Dental Association (KDA) is warning that unregulated health courses threaten patient safety and professional standards in Kenya's healthcare sector.

• The KDA is particularly concerned about the accreditation of the Bachelor of Science in Oral Health degree programme, stating it doesn't align with current competency frameworks.
• Led by President Dr. Kahura Mundia, the KDA urges the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education to investigate malaccredited programmes.
• Students in unapproved courses risk denied professional registration and licensure, potentially requiring costly retraining.
