Kenya's Antiretroviral (ARVs) stock can last for six months only following the move by USAID to freeze funding in the health sector according to the National Syndemic Diseases Control Council (NSDCC).
The move has caused anxiety among hundreds of patients living with HIV/AIDS, leading to a rush to restock their ARV supplies, raising fears of a shortage of the drugs in the coming days.
About 41,000 employees, mainly health workers, were affected by the recent freeze on US foreign aid with counties saying that they could not integrate them.
This emerged during a multi-sectorial consultative meeting with County stakeholders on the sustainability response to HIV and Syndemic diseases held in Lake Naivasha Resort.
