An Egyptian health tech firm, Rology Medical Kenya, is challenging a court ruling that suspended its radiology services in Kenya due to concerns about compliance with health and data protection regulations. The Nairobi court’s decision followed a complaint from the Kenya Association of Radiologists, highlighting risks to patient privacy and oversight. Rology argues that its platform, designed to alleviate shortages of radiologists, was improperly represented in court and emphasizes that patient safety and data protection measures are in place. The case could set important precedents for digital healthcare regulation in Kenya, especially around telemedicine and patient data management. A hearing for Rology’s urgent application is scheduled for June 24.
