The Kenya Dental Association (KDA) is urging the government to integrate dental care into all levels of healthcare and include it in the Social Health Insurance (SHA) benefits package. Speaking at a meeting today, KDA criticised the exclusion of dental services, saying it has forced many Kenyans, especially children, to pay out of pocket. They are also urging action on the shortage of qualified dentists and a crackdown on unlicensed practitioners, warning of serious health risks.
