Various hospitals in Kisii County have received medicine from the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (Kemsa) with a stern warning given to the health facilities to ensure that the drugs are given to the people.
Speaking at the Kisii Level Six Teaching and Referral Hospital, county minister Sarah Omache oversaw the dispatch of the medical supplies worth Sh17 million to two hospitals in the county and the teaching and referral hospital.
Omache called on the management of these hospitals to ensure that the medicine is put to good use so as to help the residents.
“The medicine we have been waiting for arrived and we have dispatched it our various dispensaries and health centers across the county and so essential drugs are now available in our health facilities throughout the county of Kisii,” Omache said.
Omache also said that medicine meant for level four hospitals was dispatched to the hospitals the previous week.
She added that they now have all the drugs including the ARVs for those infected with the HIV/AIDS virus and also said that no one is allowed to take medication meant for patients.
“We have all medication including those who with HIV and they have no reason to be afraid,” she said.
