Many health facilities are faced with an acute shortage of condoms and medical gloves with an accusing finger being pointed at Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) for failing to deliver the consignments.
Personnel in some of the affected hospitals said they have not received condoms for two months now while gloves have been missing for a long time. The Standard visited the VCT unit at Uasin Gishu County Hospital and established it lacks condoms and gloves. “There has been high demand for condoms by our clients but Kemsa is yet to supply us,” said an employee at the unit who did not wish to be named.
