The non-compliance is batch specific and does NOT impact the entire product of SURE CONDOMS. PPB has put in mechanisms to ensure quality and safety of condoms circulating in Kenya in addition to ordering recalls of all the impacted batches of the SURE condoms.
Pharmacy and Poisons Board has a robust post-market surveillance system that includes routine quality surveys, where samples of different medicine and medical devices categories are collected from different levels of pharmaceutical outlets and health facilities, and the samples are subjected to laboratory analysis to check the quality of the product. This is done based on the product specifications that were applied during registration of the individual products.
