The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) has dismissed social media reports claiming a ban on the importation of over 21,000 medical products, assuring the public that these claims are false and intended to cause unwarranted anxiety. The national medicine regulator stated that Kenya continues to have access to thousands of approved medical products, with no medicine crisis.

• Over 9,000 registered medical products are available for manufacture, importation, and distribution in Kenya, unaffected by any perceived ban.
• The PPB, as the national medicine regulator, emphasizes that the renewal of marketing authorizations every five years is a routine regulatory measure, not a ban.
• The PPB is actively working to eliminate unregistered, falsified, and substandard products, facing pushback from "a few unscrupulous individuals and cartels."
