Clinical Officer Licence Licence Fees / Charges in Kenya

Clinical officers — mid-level health practitioners trained in clinical medicine — must register and obtain a practising licence from the Clinical Officers Council (COC), under the Clinical Officers (Training, Registration and Licensing) Act, 2017. The Council issues this licence after successful completion of training, council examinations, and a one-year internship.
