The Council of Governors (CoG) has directed counties to disregard a notice issued by the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) requiring the mandatory registration of ambulances and emergency care personnel.

In a statement, CoG chairperson Ahmed Abdullahi said the council was “shocked” by the September 8 notice, which directed ambulance operators and emergency workers to register by September 15 or risk prohibition from offering services.
