Marie Stopes clinics has complied with conditions set by the government for it to provide abortion services in the country.
The conditions, which are aimed at stiffening the regulation of reproductive health services in the country, were issued by the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board on November 14.
Citing safety risks, the board imposed a ban restricting the reproductive health clinic from conducting abortions in the country.
But Health Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki, in a notice in the dailies on Friday, said the clinic has complied with the orders.
She ordered the ban lifted.
Among the conditions that the CS said the clinic has met include deactivating its 0800 toll free number and withdrawing the adverts on abortion.
According to Sicily, Marie Stopes has also submitted “100 samples patient files from various facilities to the board for review and examination.”
The CS noted that Marie Stopes will only be allowed to dispense abortion service as required by the law which only allows situations where the health of the mother is in danger.
“They will also be required to commit in writing to the Medical practitioners and dentists’ board that they will not procure any abortion on demand in the country,” the said in a statement.
The ban was lifted after a review found the clinic had not actively encouraged women and girls to have abortions, a move that will prevent many unsafe terminations.
Kenyan authorities had directed Marie Stopes to suspend abortions and post-abortion care after complaints a media campaign run by the charity promoted abortions – a charge it denied.
Abortions are not permitted in Kenya unless a woman’s life or health is in danger and emergency treatment is required, a rule campaigners say has led many women to resort to unsafe illegal terminations.
