President William Ruto has directed the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) to ensure a consistent and adequate supply of medicines to all public health facilities, implementing a new direct delivery system to bolster Universal Health Coverage.

• The new system bypasses county stores, aiming for uninterrupted provision of health services.
• Dr. Waqo Ejersa, the CEO of KEMSA, was specifically tasked with ensuring round-the-clock drug availability.
• President Ruto urged Kenyans to register for the Social Health Authority (SHA) to access free primary healthcare services and called on citizens to acquire National Identity Cards following the abolition of discriminatory vetting requirements, making the process free.
