KEMSA CEO backs transparent drug supply

KEMSA head Waqo Duracha promises to keep the drug supply clear and honest across Kenya. He believes every medicine shipment can save lives, making careful tracking super important. During an event sending HIV, TB, and malaria medicines to hospitals, Duracha talked about improving healthcare. He said this delivery shows how groups can work together to help patients.

KEMSA tracks all medicines with a special computer system that has won awards. This system tells them exactly where drugs go and when more are needed. "We use data to decide what medicines people need and how they move between health centers," Duracha explained. The information helps them check if patients receive good care at local clinics.

The agency watches money very carefully to ensure that each dollar buys medicine that reaches patients fast. They use new technology to deliver supplies to remote areas, preventing empty shelves at small clinics. "We take this job very seriously and keep finding ways to send medicines on time to everyone who needs them," Duracha added.

He praised the team-up between MEDS and KEMSA as a smart move to send medical supplies more smoothly. Thanks to this teamwork, millions of Kenyans can find treatment when they need it. Duracha thanked partners like the US government through USAID for staying committed to health projects despite budget talks. Health Cabinet Secretary Deborah Mulongo led the event with Public Health Secretary Mary Muthoni and other officials attending.
