Kakamega resident Caleb Jumba has urged MPs to amend the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority Act to allow KEMSA to run pharmacies in all public hospitals across the country.
He said despite KEMSA supplying drugs worth millions of shillings, they are often unavailable whenever patients seek treatment.
He lamented that every time Kenyans visit hospitals for treatment, they are forced to buy medicines from private pharmacies, thus paying out of pocket for medical care that should be covered by the Social Health Authority (SHA).
