Kenyans will now be required to leave their Identification cards, names, and vehicle registration details when dropping patients at national referral hospitals, Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale says.

Speaking at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Duale said the move aims at enhancing patient traceability and accountability in public health facilities. Adding that patient traceability is now mandatory across all public health institutions.
