End-to-End Medical Devices Regulatory Compliance Assessment Services in Kenya

Medical Devices Compliance Assessment kenya

Introduction

Kenya’s healthcare sector is undergoing rapid transformation with increased investment in medical technology manufacturing, digital health innovation, and cross-border medical device trade. As regulatory oversight strengthens, medical device companies must demonstrate full lifecycle compliance—from design and import readiness to post-market performance and cybersecurity assurance.

Cyberintelsys provides end-to-end medical devices regulatory compliance assessment services in Kenya, enabling manufacturers, importers, and digital health innovators to meet evolving Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) expectations while integrating CREST-aligned cybersecurity validation for modern, connected medical devices.

Evolving Medical Device Regulation in Kenya

Kenya regulates medical devices through the Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB), with a growing focus on:

  • Risk-based device classification

  • Technical documentation completeness

  • Safety and performance verification

  • Software reliability and cybersecurity resilience

  • Continuous post-market compliance

As Kenya positions itself as a regional healthcare and medtech gateway for East Africa, regulators increasingly expect alignment with international regulatory and quality frameworks, especially for imported and software-driven devices.

Why End-to-End Compliance Matters Today

Traditional, fragmented compliance approaches no longer work. Regulatory approval, cybersecurity, software governance, and quality systems are now interconnected.

Key drivers for end-to-end compliance in Kenya include:

  • Growth of connected and cloud-enabled medical devices

  • Expansion of telemedicine and remote diagnostics

  • Increased regulatory attention to cyber incidents in healthcare

  • Demand for traceability, audit readiness, and lifecycle risk management

Cyberintelsys addresses these demands through a unified compliance assessment model.
