The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) has achieved a significant continental milestone following the appointment of two of its experts to the African Medicines Agency (AMA) Technical Committees, strengthening Kenya’s contribution to medicines regulation and regulatory harmonisation across Africa.
The appointments were announced during the Agency’s inaugural week in Kigali, Rwanda, held under the theme “Building Africa’s Regulatory Future Together: From National Strength to Continental Impact.”
Dr Ali Abdulahi Arale, Acting Director of Medical Products and Health Technologies, was appointed to the Technical Committee on Evaluation of Medicines, Vaccines and Biologicals, while Dr Edward Abwao was appointed to the Technical Committee on Clinical Trials Oversight and Good Clinical Practice.
