Keen to end the perennial drug shortage in Nyamira, Governor Amos Nyaribo's administration has created an agency to address and end the perennial drug shortage in its healthcare facilities.

All medical supplies will now be managed by the Nyamira County Health Products and Technologies Agency, a semi-autonomous body that will oversee procurement, supply, and management of all products and technologies in the devolved unit's 120 healthcare facilities.
