Contraception is more than a health serviceโ€”it is a matter of rights, dignity, and empowerment. It gives individuals the freedom to plan families, pursue education, and build secure futures without stigma or barriers.

For the public, access to reliable contraceptive options supports healthier lives, stronger families, and greater opportunities. For pharmacy professionals, this day reinforces your role in ensuring quality, access, and accurate information so individuals can make informed choices with confidence and safety.

Together, letโ€™s break barriers, end stigma, and promote universal access.

When entering their enrolment numbers, our members previously found that their records did not appear in the SHA system. This hindered service delivery, as they could not access the system to attend to patients.

Through discussions with SHA, KPA has now successfully resolved this issue, and members can now serve patients without interruption.

The Pharmacy and Poisons Act (Cap. 244), Section 2, recognizes our professional cadre name as Pharmaceutical Technologist.

Recently, the Social Health Authority (SHA) portal/system and the MoH Digital Superhighway had incorrectly listed our cadre as Pharmacy Technician.

KPA, through constructive engagement with SHA, has successfully corrected this misrepresentation, ensuring our rightful designation is now reflected across the systems.



Thank you.

The Kenya Pharmaceutical Association (KPA), in partnership with the Kenya Clinical Officers Association (KCOA) KENYA Clinical Officer's Association, recently held discussions with Cipla aimed at fostering collaboration in key areas, namely:

a) Respiratory Health
b) Pain Management
c) Infectious Diseases
d) Gastroenterology

This collaboration seeks to strengthen the capacity of members from both Associations to remain competent and competitive in their practice while staying up to date with the latest developments in these thematic areas.

During this engagement, KPA was represented by Cletus Otieno โ€“ Branch Secretary, and Calvin Oyamo โ€“ Organizing Secretary, while KCOA was represented by Joseph Chebii โ€“ Secretary General, together with the Cipla leadership team.

For over nine decades, Cipla has held the belief that everyone should have access to lifesaving medication. Cipla continues to uphold this vision by delivering high-quality pharmaceutical products and enhancing the skills of healthcare practitioners across Kenya and other Sub-Saharan African Countries.
