Oncology pharmacists in Kenya collaborate to improve cancer management through a dedicated society. They focus on capacity building with training and workshops to enhance patient safety.

A pharmacovigilance system is in place for reporting medication errors and adverse drug reactions, allowing healthcare workers and patients to document issues. The Pharmacy and Poisons Board collects this data, ensuring quality medicines and promoting a culture of safety.
