The Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) has announced it is undertaking far-reaching reforms to ensure the success of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programme.
The authority is the only government supplier of health products and technologies (HPTs) in the country, and says it hopes to ensure service providers have adequate essential medical commodities.
In a plan to increase its order fill-rate to 80 per cent, the Acting CEO Andrew Mulwa said procurement processes are undergoing overhaul, including digitising and allocating local manufacturers bigger share of supplies.
