The Kenya Medical Association has opposed the latest directive by the Music Copyright Society of Kenya requiring health facilities to seek a music license to play copyrighted music in hospitals. In a statement, the doctors' association argued that the provisions of the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) Regulations 2025 had already been outlawed by the High Court and outlined several other reasons why the directive was unfair. “The Kenya Medical Association (KMA), the national umbrella body representing doctors and healthcare professionals, acknowledges receipt of the notice on the new Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) Regulations 2025,” the statement read in part.
