Rology Medical Kenya Limited has suffered a major setback after the High Court ordered the immediate suspension of its operations in Kenya until it fully complies with the country's digital health and data protection laws.
In a landmark judgment delivered by Justice Patricia Mande Nyaudi at the Milimani Constitutional and Human Rights Division, the court directed the government and health regulators to halt the firm's activities and revoke any approvals relating to the handling of patients' digital health records.
"The operations of the 6th Respondent (Rology Medical Kenya) within the Republic of Kenya are hereby suspended forthwith until such time as they are duly registered and compliant with the provisions of the Data Protection Act, the Digital Health Act and the regulations thereunder, including the Digital Health (Data Exchange Component) Regulations 2025," Justice Nyaudi ordered.
The judge further issued an order compelling the Ministry of Health and the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) to withdraw any licences or authorisations granted to the company.
