Kenya is enhancing its pharmaceutical regulations and supply-chain oversight to guarantee patients receive safe, effective, and quality medicines. This initiative aims to build and maintain patient trust in the healthcare system.

• The Pharmacy and Poisons Board is implementing measures like marketing authorisation renewals and strengthened inspections.
• Key figures include Chairperson Dr. John Munyu and Cabinet Secretary for Health Aden Duale, who highlighted the importance of these efforts at the 6th PharmaReg & MedDevReg AfriSummit 2026 in Nairobi.
• Strengthened laws, increased technical capacity, and the use of the World Health Organization Global Benchmarking Tool are central to this regulatory advancement.
