In recent years, Kenya’s Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) has embraced digital transformation by shifting many of its permit and licensing processes online.
This strategic move strengthens regulatory efficiency, improves stakeholder experience, and enhances transparency.
In this article, we’ll explore how this journey is unfolding, its benefits, and what it means for pharmacists, drug distributors, and the general public.
Why PPB Went Digital
-
Enhancing Efficiency
By digitizing licensing processes, the PPB significantly reduces paperwork, manual processing, and human error. Stakeholders can now apply, pay, and monitor their applications in real time via the PPB Online Services Portal.
-
Promoting Transparency
Online systems allow real‑time tracking of license status, so applicants always know where they stand. This reduces opacity and helps curb corrupt practices.
-
Boosting Compliance
The automated portal encourages higher compliance since it’s easier, faster, and more accessible. Stakeholders are more likely to renew their licenses and follow regulations.
Key Components of the PPB Online Permits & Licenses System
1. Online Services Portal
Through the PPB Online Services Portal, users can register an account, apply for various licenses, make payments, and download permits. This all-in-one platform streamlines the entire regulatory lifecycle.
2. eCitizen Integration
To access many PPB online services, users must log in via eCitizen, Kenya’s central government services portal. This ensures identity verification, enhances security, and aligns PPB services with national digital infrastructure.
3. Licensing for Premises and Practitioners
The PPB regulates both pharmacy premises and the practitioners (pharmacists, pharmaceutical technologists). Licenses for premises, annual practice, and other permits now go through the online system, speeding up approval and renewal.
4. Online Exams for Pharmacists
PPB now uses its portal to manage professional exams. For example, in June 2025, candidates registered and sat for online pre-registration and enrollment exams via the online system. This process reduces administrative burdens and improves accessibility.
5. Pharmacovigilance & Clinical Trials
Beyond routine licensure, PPB’s digital infrastructure supports clinical trial registration and pharmacovigilance reporting. Their Clinical Trials Registry and Electronic Pharmacovigilance Reporting System help streamline regulatory oversight of drug safety.
Major Benefits of the Digital Shift
-
Speed: Applications that once took weeks can now be processed faster due to electronic workflows.
-
Accessibility: Stakeholders anywhere in Kenya can apply for licenses, check status, or renew without physically visiting PPB offices.
-
Cost-savings: Reduces costs for both PPB and applicants (e.g., less paper, fewer visits).
-
Better Tracking & Auditing: Digital logs make it easier to audit applications, detect fraud, and ensure accountability.
-
Public Safety: With a live, updated register of licensed pharmacies, the public can verify the legitimacy of outlets — even by scanning QR codes on licenses.
Challenges & How PPB Is Addressing Them
-
Digital Literacy: Not all stakeholders may be comfortable with online systems. The PPB may need to provide training or user guides.
-
Internet Access: In remote areas, poor connectivity could hinder use of the portal. PPB may collaborate with local agencies to provide support.
-
Security Risks: Handling sensitive data online requires robust cybersecurity. PPB’s integration with eCitizen helps by leveraging existing secure identity systems.
-
Regulatory Adaptation: As services go digital (e.g., online pharmacies), PPB has proposed new rules to manage online prescribing, counselling, and medicine sales.
The Impact on Stakeholders
Pharmacists & Pharmaceutical Technologists
They benefit from simplified license renewals, faster permit approvals, and a centralized dashboard where they can track their submissions.
Pharmacy Owners / Premises
Owners can apply for premises registration, submit required documents online, and map compliance against PPB standards.
Drug Manufacturers & Importers
These parties can apply for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) inspections via digital forms. The portal also supports import/export registration, reducing bureaucratic delays.
Public / Consumers
Members of the public can verify if a pharmacy is licensed by checking PPB’s online registry — and even scanning a QR code on the displayed license. This boosts trust and safety.
Regulators
PPB itself gains from more streamlined internal workflows, better data, and improved capacity to enforce compliance.
Future Outlook
-
Expansion of Services: We may see more modules on the portal covering inspections, drug waste disposal, and enforcement.
-
Enhanced Analytics: Digital data gives PPB insights into licensing trends, compliance gaps, and risk areas.
-
Interoperability: The portal could integrate with other government systems (e.g., health records, national trade systems) to create synergies.
-
Regulating Online Pharmacies: As digital pharmacies grow, the PPB is expected to continue developing stricter regulatory frameworks.
The digital transformation at PPB marks a pivotal moment for Kenya’s pharmaceutical regulatory sector. By moving permits and licenses online, the Board not only enhances efficiency, but also strengthens transparency, compliance, and public trust.
This shift helps all stakeholders—from pharmacists and business owners to everyday Kenyans—navigate the system more easily.
As PPB continues to evolve, its focus on innovation and accessibility promises to shape a safer, more regulated pharmaceutical landscape.

Ensuring quality education in pharmacy is vital for Kenya’s health sector. The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) regulates not only practicing pharmacists but also the institutions that train them.
In this article, we explain how the PPB approves and monitors pharmacy training institutions, what you need to know, and why it matters.
Understanding the Regulatory Framework
The PPB exists under the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, Cap 244, which empowers it to regulate pharmacy practice and training.
The Board publishes a list of approved institutions offering pharmacy or pharmaceutical-technologist training.
Institutions must seek PPB approval before operating programs that train pharmacists or pharmaceutical technologists. The process ensures that students graduate from recognised schools and meet professional entry standards.
Why Approval and Monitoring Matter
When training institutions meet standards, quality graduates enter the workforce. Good regulation protects public health, raises professional standards and promotes the credibility of training institutions.
Without proper approval, students risk attending unrecognised courses and employers may decline graduates. The PPB emphasises that it only accepts qualifications from recognised institutions.
Monitoring, meanwhile, ensures ongoing compliance. Institutions may change curriculum, facilities, or staff, and oversight ensures standards remain high.
Key Steps to Institutional Approval
1. Submit Application to PPB
An institution wishing to train must apply to PPB’s Training & Assessment division. The application typically includes infrastructure plans, staffing, curriculum and resources. While a detailed PPB guideline may exist, institutions must adhere to listed requirements.
2. Demonstrate Facilities & Staffing
PPB inspects whether the institution has appropriate labs, teaching material, qualified staff and student support. Accreditation often includes visits and facility audits.
3. Curriculum Approval & Program Recognition
The institution must align its curriculum with PPB’s standards for pharmacy or pharmaceutical-technologist training. Graduates must fulfil PPB recognition criteria for registration or enrolment.
4. Indexing of Students
Once approved, the institution should ensure students are indexed with PPB. This step is essential for those students to sit PPB exams, register/enrol and practise.
5. Final Accreditation & Listing
On approval, PPB lists the institution among approved training institutions. The public list confirms which schools meet the regulatory requirements.
Monitoring and Quality Assurance by PPB
Regular Inspections
The PPB conducts routine inspections of approved institutions. The inspections may cover teaching quality, facilities, student outcomes and compliance with the original approval.
Continued Professional Development (CPD) Oversight
PPB also regulates CPD for practitioners and works with institutions to ensure training providers meet CPD accreditation standards.
Sanctions and Deregistration
If an institution fails to maintain standards, PPB has authority to suspend its approval, remove it from the approved list, or impose corrective measures. Training in non-approved institutions may lead to non-recognition of qualifications.
Standards and Criteria Institutions Must Meet
Here are key criteria institutions should fulfill:
-
Adequate teaching facilities (laboratories, library, teaching aids)
-
Qualified faculty and staff with relevant credentials
-
Clear curriculum aligned with PPB/commission guidelines
-
Student registration and indexing with PPB
-
Transparent assessment and internship attachment arrangements
-
Continuous evaluation, student feedback and training improvement systems
Practical Tips for Institutions and Students
For Training Institutions:
-
Ensure your institution appears on the PPB approved list before enrolling students.
-
Maintain rigorous internal audits to ensure standards do not slip between PPB inspections.
-
Keep records of facilities upgrades, staff changes and curriculum reviews.
For Students:
-
Check the PPB list of approved institutions prior to admission.
-
Ensure you get your student index number as required by PPB.
-
Confirm that the qualification you seek is recognised by PPB for registration/enrolment.

Kenya’s pharmaceutical sector relies on competent personnel to protect public health and ensure safe dispensing of medicines. The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) mandates that all registered pharmacists and enrolled pharmaceutical technologists hold valid licences to practise.
In this article, we map out a clear path to licensing pharmaceutical personnel in Kenya — from registration to renewal to compliance. We write in a simple, educative way suited for a broad audience.
Understanding the Regulatory Framework
The Licensing of pharmaceutical personnel in Kenya is based on the Pharmacy and Poisons Act (Cap 244). This act requires pharmacists and pharmaceutical technologists to meet qualification standards and to obtain licences before they practise.
The PPB handles registration of practitioners, enrolment of technologists, issuing of practice licences and enforcement of compliance.
Why Licensing Matters
Licencing safeguards the public by ensuring that only qualified personnel handle medicines and poisons.
It also enhances trust in the pharmaceutical sector, supports good pharmacy practice and ensures legal accountability.
Practicing without a valid licence amounts to professional misconduct and may trigger sanctions.
Key Requirements for Licence Eligibility
Educational Qualifications
To be registered as a pharmacist, one must hold a recognized Bachelor of Pharmacy (or equivalent) and meet the PPB’s internship and examination requirements.
For pharmaceutical technologists, the person must hold an approved diploma and satisfy the enrolment requirements set by PPB.
Practice Licence Application
Once registered or enrolled, the practitioner must apply for a practice licence through the PPB’s online portal. This applies whether practising in a retail pharmacy, hospital, wholesaler or other pharmaceutical establishment.
Step-by-Step: Obtaining a Practice Licence
-
Register or enrol with the PPB – Submit the necessary academic certificates and internship results.
-
Choose your practise location or facility – Identify whether you will work in a pharmacy, hospital, wholesale, etc.
-
Apply online for the practice licence – Use the PPB’s online services portal.
-
Submit documentation and pay fees – Ensure all required documents are attached early to avoid delays.
-
Await approval – Once processed, you receive the licence signifying lawful practice.
-
Start practising in compliance – Display your licence, adhere to professional standards, and always keep the license current.
Renewal and Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Licence renewal is mandatory annually. The PPB demands ongoing CPD activities for all licensed practitioners.
Failure to renew or engage in CPD may lead to suspension or sanctions. The system flags practising without a license as misconduct.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
Uploading incomplete documentation or missing attachments in the online application.
-
Practising in more than one facility as the superintendent pharmacist – the law restricts a license to one premise at a time.
-
Delaying renewal and overlooking CPD obligations.
-
Operating without a valid licence or practising under an expired licence – penalty risk is real.

Navigating medicine registration in Kenya can be complex. The Pharmacy & Poisons Board (PPB) regulates all medicinal substances under the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, Cap 244. This process ensures that only safe, effective, and quality medicines enter and remain in the Kenyan market.
In this guide, we walk you through each step — from application to approval — so you stay compliant, protect public health, and succeed with your pharmaceutical product.
Why Register Medicines with the PPB?
Before diving into the process, it’s worth understanding why registration matters:
-
Legal Obligation: Under the Pharmacy and Poisons (Registration of Drugs) Rules, no one can import, manufacture, or sell a drug in Kenya unless it is registered.
-
Public Safety: Registration ensures that medicines meet standards of safety, quality, and efficacy.
-
Market Authorization: The PPB issues a marketing authorization, which gives legal status to the product in Kenya.
Step 1: Prepare Your Dossier (Application Package)
First, compile a complete dossier in the required format. According to PPB guidelines, you should prepare:
- CTD (Common Technical Document) modules for quality, safety, and efficacy.
- A stability report for both active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and finished products.
- A Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) detailing dose, side effects, contraindications, and more.
- Certificates, such as the Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CPP) from the country of origin if imported.
Make sure your documents are in English. If some are in another language, provide a certified translation.
Step 2: Appoint a Local Agent (If Applicable)
If your product is manufactured outside Kenya, PPB requires you to have a local agent or representative in Kenya:
Step 3: Submit Your Application to PPB
Once your dossier is ready:
-
Fill out Form 1 (for new drug registration) or Form 1A (for renewal) as prescribed in the PPB rules.
-
Submit one hard copy and one electronic copy (PDF), along with a Word version for Modules 1 and 2.
-
Send three samples of the smallest commercial pack from one batch, along with certificates of analysis.
-
Include your non-refundable application fee. According to the rules, the fee is KES 5,000 for imported drugs, and KES 1,000 for locally manufactured ones.
Step 4: Pay Registration and Inspection Fees
After submitting your application, you must pay:
PPB may inspect your plant to ensure compliance with GMP.
Step 5: PPB Evaluation Process
After you submit:
-
PPB reviews your dossier for completeness and scientific merit.
-
A Committee on Drug Registration evaluates the application.
-
PPB may request additional data or clarifications. You must respond within six months or risk withdrawal.
-
Once satisfied, PPB issues your Certificate of Registration (Form 2).
If they reject the application, they must provide written reasons. You can appeal or reapply.
Step 6: Post‑Approval: Retention, Variation, and Renewal
Retention
Registered medicines must be “retained” annually by submitting certain documentation.
Variations
If you change any part of your product (formulation, pack size, manufacturing site), apply for a variation through PPB.
Renewal
Drug registration is valid for five years, after which you must renew to continue marketing.
Step 7: Compliance & Market Surveillance
After registration, stay compliant by:
-
Keeping accurate batch records
-
Performing quality control tests on manufactured or imported batches
-
Observing labeling requirements and package inserts
-
Responding to PPB’s market surveillance checks
PPB has issued warnings against unregistered products. In 2025, they cautioned pharmacies and importers against selling drugs that reference the Indian Pharmacopoeia (IP), as they do not meet Kenya’s regulatory standards.
Common Challenges & How to Overcome Them
-
Incomplete Dossier: Double-check every module before submission.
-
Delayed Responses: Assign a responsible officer to handle PPB queries and follow up.
-
Inspection Failures: Prepare thoroughly for GMP inspection; ensure your facility meets standards.
-
Misunderstanding Fees: Know whether your product is imported or locally made — fees differ.
-
Non‑compliance Post‑Registration: Set up internal quality systems to stay audit-ready.

Innovation powers growth in Kenya. At the heart of that growth lies intellectual property (IP). The Kenya Industrial Property Institute (KIPI) collects data that reveal how active Kenya is in patenting, branding and design.
In this article, we explore that data, draw insights and show how businesses, entrepreneurs and creators can act.
What is KIPI and what does it do?
KIPI oversees industrial property rights in Kenya. These rights include patents, industrial designs, utility models and trademarks.
According to its strategic plan, the Institute aims to facilitate registration of rights, promote inventiveness and support MSMEs.
By managing applications, registrations and information services, KIPI serves as a key player in Kenya’s innovation ecosystem.
The numbers at a glance – KIPI’s statistics
KIPI publishes IP statistics from 2000 to 2022.
Some highlights:
-
Patent applications from Kenyan residents rose from 41 in 2007 to over 3,600 by 2021.
-
Trademark applications show steady activity; for example, national applications reached 2,459 over the period.
-
Industrial design registrations by Kenyan residents climbed to 366 over the period.
These trends suggest greater awareness of IP protection among innovators and businesses.
Key trends in Kenya’s IP filings
Trademark registrations leading the way
Trademarks consistently dominate filings. Many businesses engage in branding before advanced research and development. This preference shows a strong culture of protecting names and marks.
Growing patent activity, but still gaps
Patent filings by Kenyan residents show growth, yet remain lower compared with more developed systems. According to one study, Kenya “has exhibited low levels of patenting over the years”. That signals room for local innovators to step up.
Rise in industrial design protection
Design registrations—covering visual features of products—have also increased. This trend aligns with Kenya’s growing creative and manufacturing sectors.
Local vs. foreign applicants
Data show a large share of filings from non-residents or international applicants via regional systems.
This means Kenyan innovators face both opportunity and competition.
What these statistics reveal about the innovation ecosystem
The numbers tell several stories:
-
Entrepreneurial awareness: Rising filings show that more Kenyan businesses recognise IP value.
-
Brand-centric growth: The high trademark numbers reflect strong focus on branding and market entry.
-
Innovation gap: Lower patent numbers indicate fewer locally originated inventions obtaining protection.
-
Global interconnectedness: Use of regional patent systems and foreign filings show Kenya’s linkage to international networks.
Drivers shaping Kenya’s IP landscape

-
Increased access to education, research institutions and innovation support.
-
Platforms like KIPI’s e-services making registration more accessible.
-
Demand for Kenyan brands and products domestically and internationally.
Challenges for IP uptake in Kenya
Despite positive trends, obstacles remain:
-
IP awareness among smaller enterprises remains low. A KIPI survey found 69% of respondents were business enterprises, yet many lacked registration
-
The gap between registration and commercialisation is large. One report noted only about 55% of registered industrial property rights are meaningfully commercialised
-
Institutional constraints such as staffing, capacity and automation hamper efficiency.
-
Costs, complexity and time delays can discourage applicants.
Why IP statistics matter for businesses and creators
When you understand IP statistics, you gain strategic insight. For example:
-
You can benchmark where Kenya stands in terms of innovation.
-
You can identify sectors showing growth (e.g., design registrations) and align your efforts accordingly.
-
You can inform your IP strategy: whether to focus on trademark, design or patent protection.
-
Policy makers and support agencies can allocate resources more effectively based on data.
How innovators and businesses can act now
-
Conduct an IP audit: identify what ideas, brands or designs you own or should protect.
-
For a start-up or MSME, register trademarks early to secure brand value.
-
For inventions, evaluate whether patenting is appropriate and file via KIPI.
-
Use industrial design registration when your product has distinctive appearance features.
-
Monitor KIPI’s statistics and reports to spot growth areas or gaps.
-
Consider commercialisation as part of your IP strategy—not just registration.
-
Engage experts when required—for example, to navigate technical or legal elements.
Kenya is advancing in its intellectual property journey. The data from KIPI reveal both promise and areas needing attention. For entrepreneurs, brands and innovators, the message is clear: safeguard your IP, align with growth sectors, and use the insights to compete.
