Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is urging the Kenyan government to include analogue insulin pens in the Social Health Authority (SHA) benefits package to enhance diabetes care and align with global standards.

• MSF highlights that analogue insulin pens offer convenience, improve dosing accuracy, and better blood sugar management for patients with diabetes.
• The proposal is made as the Benefits Package and Tariffs Advisory Panel reviews healthcare service enhancements under SHA.
• Analogue insulin pens are now listed on the World Health Organisation's Model List of Essential Medicines and Kenya's Essential Medicines List.
