The medical supplies authority is yet to receive cash to procure medical essentials and drugs in the wake of the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak.
Besides drugs and medical essentials such as face masks, the allocation will be spent on equipping a 120-bed ward at the Mbagathi Hospital in Nairobi, which is one of the two isolation facilities in the country. The other one is the 11-bed isolation ward at the Kenyatta National Hospital.
