From the Registrar’s Desk

I wish to appreciate all our members of staff at the Pharmacy and Poisons Board for the dedication you have shown this past year.Days have turned into weeks and weeks into months and now we are about to say kwaheri to 2013. We all anticipated that we will find ourselves here at the be-

ginning of the year. Our plans and programmes remain on course in spite of notable challenges here and there.

We have made some incredible milestones this year. Notably, our efforts to digitise our systems in line with the country’s Vision 2030, and in an ef-fort to offer efficient service to our customers, we launched two major web based tools; the Pharmacovigilance Electronic Reporting System and the Stakeholders’ e-Portal. These tools will greatly enhance service delivery be-sides affording The Board real time data management for efficient decision making. Going forward we shall endeavour to deploy more new technologies where necessary and empower our staff with skills to efficiently utilise them.

I also wish to take this opportunity to thank you all for being patient with our limited space at the Headquarters. We regret that this has often been discomforting for both our staff and customers. This problem is soon going to come to an end. As you may be well aware construction of our new building is nearing completion and will be ready for occupying in the coming year.We hope that with the new premises, the problem of crowding will be sorted out once and for all as indeed other situations associated with crowding.

I know that it is often not objective for anyone to judge their own work. But any service that does not bring some form of satisfaction to the service giver must often be wanting in one way or another. This is because the rea-son an opportunity comes to you is so that you may make a difference in the life of someone else. All PPB members of staff have an obligation to do just that.

Finally, thank you all for the good year it has been. Without you not much we are celebrating today would have been achieved. All the little efforts you made have culminated in the successes that we can see today. As we say kwaheri to 2013, it is my hope that we shall pick it up from there in the coming year and make 2014 an even better year for all.

Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year

Dr.Kipkerich KoskeiRegistrar

Thank you all for making this a successful year

Dr. Fred M. SiyoiDeputy Registrar

I am glad to share my few thoughts on this new platform courtesy of our Department of Public Relations. It gives me joy to note that this is the inaugural edition of the PPB Newsletter coming only a few months after the department came into being. The department was created recently

to spearhead our public communication strategy and to enhance the image of the organisation.

Public relations is a very important service for any organisation. Most organisations rise and fall on the strength of their image. Though this has been a yearning for PPB for a while now, it was not until this August that the department was formed and we are glad they are already taking their baby steps.This goes to say that the organisation as a whole is growing.

Let me start by congratulating those in the department for coming up with this idea and moving so fast to implement it. This is commendable. It is my hope that you will keep up with the tempo with which you have started. I also hope that this tool will broaden and enhance our communication with our countrywide networks as well as generate important public awareness messages about The Board and our services. The management will give you all the necessary support you will require in that regard.

I would like to also encourage all the departments to come on board and participate in making this a success. A lot of the good work you do may never be appreciated by the people you serve due the reason that they may not even know about it. But when you have it documented here and passed around it acts as a good testimony to your efforts and dedication.

Furthermore, PPB is like a family. All of us form an integral part of that family and this is not by accident. The success of the family depends on the input of every one of us. We all celebrate when one of us has achieved some-thing for the family. Likewise we all bear the collective consequences of the failure of one of us either directly or indirectly. By the fact that we are all here, it is a call to rise to the occasion and bring pride to the family by play-ing our respective roles.

Finally I take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Dr. F. M. SiyoiDeputy Registrar

Let’s all embrace the new PR department and the Newsletter

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Pharmacy and Poisons Board Newsletter. This has been long in coming. And like all things new, there are those who will find it

exciting and there are those who will wish one extra thing or another was done on this edition. Whatever the case may be we are delighted to present to you the newest kid on the block with the hope that we shall be able to grow it together from here. Indeed as the Chinese saying goes, the journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.

The board has been in the news lately. Much of what we saw in the media was very discouraging. Yet there have also been great achievements these last few months. In April this year The Board launched the Pharmacovigilance Electronic Reporting System and in this October we launched The Stakeholder’s e-Portal. The October launch is the highlight of this edition.

Looking back through the months this year a num-ber of important activities have also taken place. We highlight key among those events. You will read about the Mombasa ASK show experience as well as regional heads consultative meeting.

We have also featured prominently the achieve-ments of the pharmacovigilance department. Some of the key activities of the department have come up for mention in international forums. We definitely look forward for more in the coming days.

In keeping with the spirit of the East African Com-munity PPB and other regulatory bodies in the member countries are seeking to harmonise medicine regula-tion for the EAC. The project is aimed at increasing access for safe, efficacious and good quality essential medicines in the member states. This edition highlights some of the key milestones of the project that has been praised as the first on the African continent.

Finally, the Directorate of Pharmacy Practice and Regulation of Training has published inside the pages of this edition a full list of colleges licensed to offer phar-macy courses in the country. We encourage all to take the opportunity and contribute articles for publication in this newsletter in future. We hope to do this every quarter of the year.

For more, kindly turn the pages and read on.

PPB Directorates & their tasks

The East African Com-munity member states have initiated a Medicines Regula-

tion Harmonization project (EAC MRH) to improve access to safe, efficacious and good quality essential medicines for the treatment of conditions of public health importance in the Partner States. The proj-ect was launched on March 30, 2012 in Arusha, Tanzania. The Pharmacy and Poisons Board is part of the initiative.

The main goal of the proj-ect was to have a harmonized and functioning medicines registration system within the East African Community

in accordance with national and internationally recognized policies and standards.

The Deputy Registrar, Dr. Siyoi said that the project would increase the availabil-ity of quality and safe essen-tial medicines within the East African region and Increase free movement of drugs within the new EAC Common Market. This was in an aware-ness meeting held at the Lenana Mount Hotel, Nairobi on August 22, 2013.

The World Bank Lead Health Specialist, Africa Re-gion, Dr. Ramana NV Gandham was also in attendaance. He noted that that success of

MEDICINE REGULATION HARMONIZATIONEAC MRH will set an example for other regional economic communities as harmonization makes new drugs for ne-glected diseases available for the poor and helps in regional industry growth.

EAC is the first Regional Economic Community in Africa to launch the medicine regu-latory harmonization project under the African Medicines Registration Harmonization Initiative (AMRHI).

EAC is a regional intergov-ernmental organisation of 5 Partner States. This includes Republics of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania.

The Pharmacy and Poisons Board has added another feather to its continuing process of automation of its operations by launching a web based stakeholder’s

e-portal. This comes hot on the heels of yet another milestone marked by the launch of pharmacovigilance electronic reporting system that went live in April this year.

The stakeholder’s e-portal will enable pharmaceutical industry’s stakeholders to ac-cess trade and drug retention services from the Pharmacy and Poisons Board online. It is

expected to boost the pharmaceutical sector by easing access to services provided by The Board.

The development of the online portal has been made possible through a partnership between The Board, TradeMark East Africa and other partners. TradeMark East Africa provided technical and financial support for the project.

The launch ceremony was held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Wednesday October 23, 2013 and attended by key industry stakehold-ers among them manufacturers, market au-

thorisation holders, wholesalers and retailers of pharmaceutical products as well as policy makers.

‘The PPB e-portal has been developed with the aim of integrating all regulatory services. Through the e-portal, stakeholders will be able to apply for operation licenses, renew exist-ing operation licenses, make e-payments and register drug exports and imports,’ said the PPB Registrar, Dr. Kipkerich Koskei during the launch.

In a speech read on his behalf by the Di-rector of Medical Services Dr. Francis Kimani during the launching ceremony, the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Health Mr. James Macharia noted that the interactive portal is an important step towards ensuring that The Board offers its services in an efficient and affordable manner that guarantees customer satisfaction and afford a platform for continual improvement.

The cabinet secretary added that that the e-portal will contribute towards the reduction of non-tariff trade barriers within the pharma-ceutical industry in line with the Kenya Vision 2030 goal of providing equitable and afford-able quality health services to all Kenyans.

Mr. Macharia also noted that the system will allow procurement agencies and members of the public to verify the status of products from The Board’s website and minimise counterfeits from the market.

‘The e-portal will be particularly useful to policy makers and business persons who require timely and accurate information in formulating policies and making business deci-sions,’ said the Cabinet Secretary adding that the system is expected to add value by easing the flow of information and centralisation of trade documentation on the internet.

The system is designed to integrate with the flagship projects of the Vision 2030 initia-tives and will be linked with other government

agencies like the Kenya Bureau of Standards, Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service and the Kenya Revenue Authority via an interface with the Kenya National Single Window that is currently under development.

The e-portal will help in integrating all regulatory services in the pharmaceuticals and trade facilitation with financial management to ease doing of business in Kenya.

All registers required by law, like Register of Pharmacists, Medicines and premises will be kept online with manual registers only being retained for fall-back purposes. These registers can be either referenced online or printed where necessary. In addition, proper audit trails will be maintained regarding the process.

Stakeholders in approval processes are encouraged to embrace electronic signatures to enable individuals charged with the respon-sibility of approving documents be able to log into the system in a secure way, review appli-cations and give their sentiments electronical-ly. The system will be able to give email based acknowledgements or prompts at relevant stages.

The system incorporates web-based forms in order to facilitate flexible, accurate data capture and validation of applications as well as approvals. It also accommodates document flow and approval.

As well, e-licences will be system generated and printed by the applicants themselves. A system of license verification through either SMS services or web service will be made avail-able to members of the public and field staff.

The system also accommodates e-payments to be generated and printed by the applicants. This will considerably reduce if not eliminate delays experienced in processing of licenses and the associated inconvenience in making payments.

Page 10: ISSUE NO.1 OCT-DEC 2013 PPB Newsletter

The roll out of the system was cascaded to ensure maxi-mum output within the short-est time possible. As a result almost all health workers in Kenya have been sensitized on Pharmacovigilance. Health facilities were provided with reporting tools and in about three years after the launch, Kenya was ranked 5th in Africa in terms of reporting. Furthermore, the tool for re-porting suspected poor quality medicine was recommended by WHO for adoption by other countries. Many countries have also expressed interest in adopting the Pharmacovi-lance curriculum implementa-tion guide and the training manual.

As the trend of reporting improved, the need for a fast, reliable and accurate mode of reporting arose. It is at this point that the Pharmacovigi-lance electronic reporting

Setting the Pace in Pharmacovigilancesystem was developed with the support of the Health Commodities and Services Management and launched on 23rd April, 2013. The online reporting system where health workers log in and report in real time from their stations is a departure from the past where such reports had to be filled and submitted via a cou-rier to the Board. The system is a major step in modernizing pharmacovigilance reporting in Kenya and indeed in Africa. Most African countries are still stack in manual report-ing despite its disadvantages. The online reporting is envi-ronmentally and user friendly, combining technology, style and convenience. The online reporting system has placed Kenya ahead of other African counterparts. We are looking forward to being a center of excellence in Pharmacovi-lance in the region and Africa as a whole.

From right: Former PS in the Ministry of Information, Dr. Kipkerich Koskei, PPB Registrar and Dr. Jayesh Pandit, formerly of the department of Pharmacovigilance during the un-veiling of the Pharmacovigilance Electronic Reporting System.

The primary objec-tive of any Pharma-covigilance system in the world is early

identification of risks posed by medicine and to minimize and prevent harm to patients. Pharmacovigilance as a dis-cipline deals with the collec-tion, monitoring, research-ing, assessing and evaluating information from healthcare providers and patients on the adverse effects of medicines, biological product, herbals and traditional medicine.

Kenya rolled out the Na-tional Pharmacovigilance system in 2009 and was admitted as the 98th member of the World Health Organiza-tion (WHO) International Drug Monitoring Group in 2010. Since then the country has made significant strides to sensitize health workers and improve reporting of adverse drug reactions.

Among other public awareness effforts the Pharmacy and Poisons Board has been conducting outreach activities aimed at educating members of the

public on its mandate and functions. Some of the activities include exhibiting in regional ag-ricultural shows held annually in various cities accross the country among others.

The latest such activity is the recently concluded Mombasa ASK show. More than 200 members of the public paid a visit to the Phar-macy and Poisons Board and the Anti Counter-feit Agency stands. PPB exhibited a total of four days, between August 28 and 31, 2013.

Members of the public had a whole range of questions which were adequately addressed by our team, much to the delight of the visitors.Some of the questions included:

How they could access Pharmacovigi-• lance PV reporting tools, especially the yellow and pink form considering most of them have no access to the internetTo know the qualifications required to • enrol for a pharmacy or a pharmaceuti-

cal course.Process of opening a chemist and regis-• tering Drugs.

Our staff at the stand took time to explain different tools deployed by different depart-ments of the Board in executing its mandate. These tools were displayed and others dissemi-nated during the trade fair. Some of the tools disseminated were those from the department of Medicine Information and Pharmacovigi-lance. They included the Pink and the Yellow forms. The former is used for reporting Poor Medicinal Products while the latter is for re-porting Adverse Drug Reactions.

This is what some of the visitors to the stand wrote in the visitors book:
