The Narok County Executive Member in charge of Health, Antony Namunkuk has flagged off drugs worth Ksh.44 million to be distributed to health facilities in Narok County
The CEC said that the County usually supplies medical drugs and non-medical supplies worth Ksh.90 million every quarter.
“Since Governor Patrick Ntutu took over, flagging off medical and non-medical supplies quarterly has become a rule in our County of which today we are flagging off the supplies to cater for June, July and August 2024,” said the CEC.
Namunkuk praised the government for dialoguing with the medics to end the strike that had paralyzed health services for almost a month countrywide.
He urged the residents to seek medical services in health facilities now that medics are back to work in all the health facilities.
The CEC also revealed that adequate security measures have been put in place to prevent theft of drugs purchased by the County Government.
“We have installed CCTV cameras to our health facilities, and also we have a system whereby we can monitor drugs delivery up to the health facility,” added the CEC.
The drugs were purchased from the Kenya Medical Supply Agency.
