ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Compliance in the pharmaceutical industry is a critical issue, particularly
in Kenya. Pharmaceutical companies across the globe face unparalleled
challenges in the dynamically changing clinical, regulatory and
business landscape. As regulatory scrutiny of the Pharmaceutical
industry continues to intensify, compliance teams face increasingly
complex challenges related to Legal Frameworks and Compliance,
interactions.
The inaugural edition of the
Kenya Pharmaceutical Regulatory
Compliance Conference will provide
a venue for industry experts,
policymakers, manufacturers,
distributors, retailers and
inventors to discuss and debate
the challenges they face as well as
explore new strategies.
This event therefore gives
compliance and risk professionals
an unparallel opportunity to
interact with the leading minds
in the industry about the current
state of laws and technology
and government oversight and
more, as the event format which
includes panel discussions, debates,
workshops and exhibitions will
also throw light on the direction
the industry will take in the future
– making it all the more important
for today’s Pharmaceutical
professionals to actively take part in
this conference.
Apart from the Conference,
corporate organizations and
of the pharmaceutical industry
will also showcase their products
and services to the delegates
and stakeholders attending the
conference.
The participating exhibitors will
be looking forward to meet the
stakeholders in the pharmaceutical
industry across the East African
region as well as invited groups,
targeted business interests and

entrepreneurs, so as to network,
seal deals and broaden their
clientele.
The conference will be highlighted
by quality presentations and
speakers drawn from the regulatory
bodies in the pharmaceutical
industry and government at large.
Delegates are drawn from
the broader pharmaceutical
industry, with a special focus on
stakeholders who are directly
involved in the following key areas
of regulatory compliance in the
pharmaceutical industry;
Compliance and ethics

WHY THE CONFERENCE
The Pharmacy and Poisons Board is a key government
agency that enforces regulations and laws in the
pharmaceutical sector. In recent years, the Board has
had to battle cases of malpractices in the industry,
with certain incidents reported in the Kenyan media.
What has emerged from review and audit done by
the board is that there are obvious loopholes in the
regulatory framework that may have been exploited by
unscrupulous people at the expense of industry best
practices and regulatory compliance.
The audit also reveals an obvious need for greater
industry cohesion and engagement among peers to
ensure regulatory procedures are observed at all levels
of practice.
It has also emerged that the board has in the past
lacked strong governmental regulatory enforcement
mechanisms to weed out illegal business activities
in the country. In many instances, the Board has
successfully stopped reported cases of malpractices,
but it is still overwhelmed by some cases of non-
compliances.
However, this has only given the board the impetus
to craft all possible strategic tools to combat non-
compliance with regulations in the industry. This
conference is a great step towards engaging the
greater pharmaceutical stakeholder fraternity to
enforcement of the regulatory framework.
This is more than just a
conference. It is fresh,
innovative and genuinely
engages the audience.
5. Page 5
It emerges that lack of compliance breeds fertile
ground for potential risks to the lives of the very
people the industry is supposed to serve; the general
population. In the absence of compliance, and in the
occurrence of wanton contravention of regulation, the
general population is placed on a precarious situation
of danger from use of substandard medical equipment
and treatment therapy.
It is not in doubt that counterfeit drugs and
medical supplies have found their way onto our
pharmaceutical shelves, sometimes with the collusion
of stakeholders – and at other times by the lack of
processes. Either way, the population will always be
at risk if regulatory practices are not enhanced and
tightened.
This, perhaps, is one industry whose failures would
reverberate beyond boardrooms and the walls of
various pharmaceutical premises. If measures are
not put in place to safeguard what is released to the
market and the general population, the industry itself
is at risk of damaged credibility and the heightening
of tension in the public. A public that is worried and
panicked by the quality of pharmaceutical services in
the country could easily create a national crisis.
industry rallies around the need to overcome
regulatory challenges together, as stakeholders
seek common fronts and solutions through which to
streamline regulatory practices in the sector.
This is more than just a conference. It is fresh,
innovative and genuinely engages the audience.

how to future proof
