Market Focus — Kenya

Healthcare products from India,
sourced for Kenya.

India is a common sourcing origin for pharmaceuticals and healthcare products imported into Kenya and East Africa. Stige works with Kenyan importers and distributors to identify suitable products and suppliers, and to coordinate documentation and export from India.

[ 02 ] Regulatory Notes

Importing into Kenya: what to keep in mind.

01

Pharmaceutical products generally require registration with the Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) before import and sale in Kenya.

02

Medical devices and diagnostics follow a separate regulatory pathway with their own documentation requirements.

03

Documentation such as Certificates of Analysis, GMP documentation, Free Sale Certificates and Certificates of Origin may be required, where applicable.

04

Shipments typically enter through Mombasa (sea) or Nairobi (air); importers should confirm current PPB and customs requirements for their product.

Stige assesses each enquiry against the destination market's requirements and coordinates sourcing-side documentation where applicable. Importers remain responsible for product registration and import compliance in Kenya.
