[Mercy Kahenda, Standard]The Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya (PSK) has condemned the secret recording of a video showing DCP Party Leader Rigathi Gachagua purchasing and taking medication at a pharmacy outlet, terming it a grave violation of patient privacy and healthcare confidentiality. "Recording any client in a pharmacy without consent constitutes a serious breach of privacy. Pharmacies are healthcare settings where individuals are entitled to dignity, discretion, and protection of their personal health information", PSK emphasised. "Due diligence is underway to establish the facts and determine whether regulatory action is warranted," PSK added. The society expressed regret over the apparent breach of privacy, reiterating that every Kenyan, regardless of public status, has the right to confidential healthcare.
