Busia County pharmacist Sylvanos Katayi has said all public hospitals have been supplied with enough drugs that can sustain them for two months.

Mr Katayi Tuesday downplayed that his office was not doing much in ensuring hospitals have drugs.

Katayi’s confirmation comes a few days after Governor Sospeter Ojaamong confirmed that there was enough stock despite public outcry that most public hospitals don’t have drugs.
