Essential cancer, HIV/Aids and malaria medicines worth nearly Sh1 billion expired in Kemsa’s warehouses as public hospitals and clinics across the country continued to struggle with severe drug shortages.
Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu said that the losses included Sh547 million for items like cancer medicines, pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceutical medical supplies and another lot of Sh367.4 million that Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) hid from the books.
