Kenya Medical Supplies Agency acting CEO Andrew Mulwa says the agency has promised to plug into the president's Universal Health Care plans.

"Kemsa is ready to play its role in warehousing, distribution and procurement of medical products; guaranteeing quality and low cost, and eventually reducing the cost of health. Of the four pillars, Kemsa is strategically placed to tackle health products and technologies. We do bulk purchasing of medical products for public facilities," Dr Mulwa told The Standard in an interview.
