The government has confirmed that it has received 186,072 family planning commodities, funded by the United Kingdom, which will be distributed across the country.
The commodities, which were received by the Medical Services Principal Secretary, Ouma Olunga, at the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) headquarters on Wednesday, June 18, include 16,272 sets of Levoplant, 69,800 doses of DMPA-SC, and 100,000 sets of Jadelle.
According to Ouma, the commodities will be critical in averting over 131,000 unintended pregnancies, reducing unsafe abortions, and reducing contraceptive stockouts in healthcare facilities.
The PS confirmed that the commodities were funded through the United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and procured through the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
