Western, Kenya – On March 25th, 2024, pharmaceutical regulatory officers from the Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB), led by Dr. Paddy Agoro and Solomon Kamau, engaged in a strategic workshop aimed at enhancing pharmaceutical compliance in the Western region.

Facilitated by the PPB regional head and the regional police commander, the workshop brought together senior police officers, including all 13 sub-county police commanders, sub-county DCI commanders, and their deputies.
