3.1. Adoption of the Essential Drugs Concept

The private sector including mission, and NGO sectors provide a substantial part of the Health Care delivery system. Therefore, health services provided by these sectors will also be actively encouraged to adopt the Essential Drugs concept and, specifically, to make use of the Kenya Essential Drugs List, Kenya Veterinary Essential Drugs List, and Essential Medical Supplies and Appliance List.

Quality, safety, efficacy, and medical need will remain essential pre-requisites in the selection and procurement for drug in these sectors.
