Mary Muthoni, the principal secretary for public health and professional standards at the Department of State, met with Bert Ubamadu, the deputy mission director for USAID Kenya and East Africa, today to review progress and discuss potential solutions to the major issues with the Pharmacy and Poisons Board’s legal framework, human resources, and financial autonomy.
The Kenyan government has made great strides in achieving Maturity Level 3 (ML3) accreditation for the Pharmacy and Poisons Board, demonstrating a persistent commitment to this objective.
Achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), Vision 2030, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) all depend critically on the accessibility and affordability of high-quality healthcare products.
Recognising the critical importance of partnerships, USAID has been a significant ally in these efforts to speed up the process of achieving health commodity security.
The government’s unwavering commitment, together with cooperative alliances, will be crucial in boosting domestic production, safeguarding health supplies, and guaranteeing secure and reliable medical items for all Kenyans.
