Kenya has a staggering 2.65 million drug addicts and only four public rehabilitation centres, the National Authority for the Campaign Against Drug Abuse (Nacada) has said.
Three of the centres; Mathari, Coast Provincial General Hospital and the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, have an annual capacity of 200 patients each. The new addition is Murang'a Rehabilitation Centre, which is currently treating 1,000 alcoholics.
