Aviation safety is a top priority, and the health of pilots, cabin crew, and air traffic controllers plays a crucial role in maintaining it. In Kenya, the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCCA) ensures that all personnel in the aviation industry undergo regular medical checks to confirm their fitness to hold licenses and perform their duties. To carry out these examinations, KCCA has appointed a select group of highly qualified and licensed medical doctors known as Aviation Medical Examiners (AMEs).
These doctors are responsible for assessing and determining the medical fitness of aviation personnel in accordance with KCCA regulations. Below is a comprehensive list of KCCA-approved aviation medical examiners in Kenya, including their locations and contact information.

- Be qualified and licensed to practice medicine.
- Have completed aviation medicine training at a recognized institution.
