NAIROBI: More than 288,000 teachers now have a reason to smile as the Procurement Review Board reversed cancellation of Sh5.6 billion medical cover tender that was terminated by their employer last month.

Teachers Service Commission (TSC) now has up to two weeks to complete the procurement process of the robust medical scheme that would see teachers get up to Sh1 million in-patient cover.
