There is a lot of misinformation being spread about the Good Pharmacy Practice guidelines developed by @ppbkenya
The truth is that these guidelines recognize ALL practitioners (pharmaceutical technicians, Pharmacists, Pharmacy specialists).

Clear standards help pharmaceutical professionals strengthen their services and maintain consistent quality of care.
The Good Pharmacy Practice Guidelines support compliance while keeping patient safety at the heart of every pharmaceutical service.

@NelsonMogaka_ Just cut the drug supply chain off and see what will happen. A hospital without drugs is a hotel/ massage parlor full of comforting words like usijali utapona tu.

Yesterday we talked about the vital role Pharmacists play in Kenya. 🧑⚕️
But what happens when that trust is broken? Every professional must be accountable.
Here is your guide to reporting Pharmacist malpractice in Kenya, via the Pharmacy & Poisons Board (PPB):
What is malpractice? It’s not just about rudeness. It’s a legal breach. This includes: ❌ Wrong drug/dose ❌ Selling expired/fake meds ❌ No valid prescription ❌ No license/registration ❌ Failure to counsel on side effects
Step 1: Document. Before you report, gather evidence. 📸 Take photos of the medicine packs and receipts. 📝 Write down the Pharmacist's name, pharmacy name, date, and exactly what happened.
Step 2: Confront (Politely). Raise the issue with the pharmacy manager first. Sometimes it’s an honest error. Ask for their response in writing.
Step 3: File a formal complaint. If the issue isn't resolved, go to the regulator: The Pharmacy & Poisons Board. 📍 File online: https://t.co/41EuWtEwJL 📞 Call: +254 709 770 100
Step 4: Health & Legal. If you were harmed: 🏥 See a doctor immediately. ⚖️ Consult an advocate. You can sue for negligence under the Law of Torts and the Consumer Protection Act.
Remember: ✅ Complaints are FREE. ✅ Your identity is protected. ✅ Keep all evidence (prescriptions, receipts).
A good Pharmacist is your partner. Holding bad actors accountable protects us all. 🇰🇪💊

@carienimwa Daktari as long as you graduated with a BPharn or a degree in dentistry or MBCHB then you have the right to maintain the name ,according to the laws of kenya
In Kenya, as we have always done, we are trying to play politics in areas where politics is not needed.
Having a diploma level Pharm-tech superintent a retail facility is not a practice you can find in ML3 countries, let alone 2.
FYI, Uganda and Rwanda are at ML2.
Standards of practice in any profession must be adhered to and dispensing is not an exception.
If dispensing is a forte for PharmTechs, it doesn’t mean we throw out all the stern global regulatory standards and accommodate loopholes that may create chaos in future. Emphasis is superintending.
This is not akin to fighting with Pharmaceutical Technologists.
So two things really: Adhere to that required standard or upgrade to the same.
Time to shape up or shape out.
