KEMSA reforms get underway to strengthen Universal Health Coverage delivery

KEMSA reforms get underway to strengthen Universal Health Coverage delivery

The Board of the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) confirms that organisational reform efforts have been stepped up to position the Authority as an effective player in the local healthcare system.

As an institution, KEMSA is a strategic State Corporation mandated to undertake roles and responsibilities to ensure supply chain excellence for Health Products and Technologies (HPTs). Currently, KEMSA serves over 8,000 health facilities from the Embakasi National Supply Chain Centre complemented by an additional devolved network of 11 warehouses, four in Nairobi and seven spread across the towns of Eldoret, Kakamega, Kisumu, Meru, Mombasa, Nakuru and Nyeri. These facilities provide last-mile delivery services for our national medical supplies serving communities as close as Mukuru Kwa Njenga in Nairobi County and as far as Manda Bay in Lamu County or Kibish in Turkana County

In early July, a multi-agency Taskforce was formed to provide an independent operating recovery strategy for KEMSA to facilitate organisational effectiveness. The KEMSA Immediate Action Plan and MediumTerm Reforms Working Committee (KIAPRWC) comprised a panel of local public service administration experts backed by international counterparts drawn from the World Bank and the Africa Resource Centre.

KIAPRWC had been tasked to:

1. Review the current organisational structure to determine its efficacy

2. Review current staff establishment and staffing norms

3. Establish if the current career guidelines were responsive to the current client needs and mandate of KEMSA

4. Determine whether the current HR policy and procedures were properly attuned to the Constitution, Labour Laws and other relevant legislation.

5. Assess prospective modalities for the reorganisation of KEMSA to meet its mandate, current challenges and demands of clients.

6. To review the KEMSA Reforms Implementation Committee (KRIC) reports and take into account the immediate action report thereof
