The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) is warning the public against seeking dental treatment from graduates of a disputed dentistry program due to concerns about patient safety.

• KMPDU has issued a strict caution, stating that seeking dental services from individuals trained under compromised and unauthorized conditions poses a severe risk to public health.
• The warning follows a High Court decision on June 24, 2026, to decline an urgent hearing for a petition filed by the Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK) regarding dental training standards.
• The court directed that all parties be heard before any determination on conservatory orders, and has not yet ruled on the accreditation status of the institution in question.
