To protect patients, meet legal requirements, and maintain the integrity of the Afya X marketplace, only products that are officially registered and recognised by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) of Kenya are allowed to be listed or sold.

This guide explains what that means for manufacturers, wholesalers, and buyers.

1. PPB Registration is Mandatory

• Every pharmaceutical product must carry a valid PPB registration number before it can appear on Afya X.
• The registration must be current and match the exact product name, formulation, and packaging being offered.

2. Quality and Packaging Standards

• Products must meet Kenyan Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards and any additional PPB requirements.
• Packaging must include batch number, expiry date, and manufacturer details exactly as approved by PPB.

3. Ongoing Compliance

• Expired or revoked registrations immediately disqualify a product.
• Sellers are responsible for updating Afya X if a product's registration status changes.

4. Prohibited Products

• Any pharmaceutical or health product not registered by PPB is strictly prohibited.
• Counterfeit, unlabelled, or unverified products will be removed and may lead to suspension of the seller's account.

Key Takeaway:

Before listing any pharmaceutical item on Afya X, ensure it is officially registered with the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and that all documentation is accurate and up to date.

This guarantees patient safety, regulatory compliance, and a trusted marketplace for every buyer and seller.
