Regulatory and Quality
At MDL Clintech Limited, quality is not merely a control step, it is the governing principle embedded into every clinical, bioanalytical, and regulatory workflow. As Kenya’s pioneer GxP-compliant CRO, we operate under an uncompromising Quality Management System (QMS) designed to safeguard participant safety, guarantee strict adherence to global ethical guidelines, and deliver audit-ready data that withstands rigorous scrutiny by national and international health authorities

Independent Quality Assurance (QA) Unit
Operating completely independently from operational, clinical, and laboratory divisions, our Quality Assurance (QA) unit reports directly to executive management to maintain objective, uncompromised oversight across every study lifecycle
Our dedicated auditors enforce continuous vigilance across all operational touchpoints. In the clinic, QA conducts real-time in-process monitoring, dosing audits, and consent verifications to guarantee participant safety and strict protocol adherence. In our bioanalytical laboratories, the team oversees method validations, raw data integrity, and chromatography audit trails in full compliance with ICH M10 and GLP standards
To ensure regulatory acceptance, QA performs 100% audits of pharmacokinetic (PK) datasets, bioequivalence calculations, and final Clinical Study Reports (CSRs) to deliver defect-free, audit-ready dossiers. Backed by rigorous vendor qualifications and cold-chain supply audits, MDL Clintech guarantees complete data integrity and compliance from initial screening to final submission
Data
Integrity Compliance
Data integrity is the bedrock of regulatory acceptance at MDL Clintech Limited. We enforce strict ALCOA+ principles across every phase of data generation and management, ensuring that all clinical observations, bioanalytical injections, and record modifications are fully attributable to authorized personnel, captured contemporaneously in real time, and preserved in their original, accurate state without unauthorized post-acquisition changes
Our digital infrastructure is fully validated under Computerized Systems Validation protocols compliant with global regulatory stnadards. From Electronic Data Capture (EDC) in our clinical wards to Chromatography Data Systems (CDS) in our bioanalytical laboratories, all platforms feature secure user access controls and automated, unalterable audit trails, delivering transparent, tamper-proof, and audit-ready data for global health authorities
Inspection Readiness & Sponsor Audits
We maintain a permanent state of inspection readiness. MDL Clintech welcomes routine and study-specific audits by sponsor Quality Assurance teams, as well as formal regulatory inspections by national and international health authorities. Our dedicated audit support team ensures transparent documentation access, rapid query resolution, and seamless hosting for both on-site and remote audits
