The government has rolled out a plan that seeks to stop unwanted pregnancies in the country especially among youth.
The initiative involves giving anti-pregnancy pills to women who are sexually active but are not read to get pregnant.
Acting Director of Medical Services at the Ministry of Health Jackson Kioko said on Wednesday that all government health facilities will receive the pills which he added will be given free of charge.
"The problem is still bid and the ministry has devised ways to contain runaway unwanted teenage pregnancies," he said at his office as he spoke to the press.
He said women and girls who are not prepared to carry the burden of bringing up children should free to visit health centres near them to receive the pills.
Kenya in East and Central Africa is among countries with the highest number of teenage expectancy rates.
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), last year reported that a total 28,932 girls between the ages of 10 and 14 years got pregnant, while 349,465 girls between 15 to 19 years were impregnated in 2016 alone.
UNFPA also cited Narok, West Pokot, Nyamira, Homa Bay, Tana River, Samburu, Migori and Kwale as counies with the highest rates teenage pregnancies.
