The pharmaceutical industry plays a major role in supporting Kenya’s health sector. Nairobi hosts the largest contingent of Multinational Pharmaceutical Companies (MNCs) in the region. Major European and American pharmaceutical companies are present through locally incorporated affiliates, technical representative offices and local technical agents.
Kenya is currently the largest producer of pharmaceutical products in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) region, supplying about 50 per cent of the regions’ market (Wilson, 2012). Out of the region’s estimated 50 recognised pharmaceutical manufacturers, 32 are based in Kenya.
