The Ministry of Health varied the annual contract for Medical Equipment Service (MES) from the initial Sh95 million to Sh200million per county, the office of the editor general has said.

Officials from the auditor general's office yesterday told a Senate committee that a Health Information Management System (HIMS) that was meant to inter-link health facilities was not installed as contained in the contract agreement.
