MALARIA: Kenya will subsidise drug cost

The government will subsidize recommended malaria drugs by June this year.
The initiative, which is the result of a grant agreement between the government and the Global Fund will see a dramatic drop in the price of the drugs from a high of Ksh 600 million to an average cost of Ksh 20 million.
Public Health and Sanitation Minister Beth Mugo was quick to reassure the public that all malaria drugs bought by the government for public health facilities through the initiative were of the highest quality.
