Kenya Medicine Price Monitor
Ministry of Health, Government of Kenya: January 2007
Price continues to be a major barrier to reliable access to medicines in Kenya. To help address this issue, the MOH conducts surveys on a quarterly basis to monitor medicine prices. Information is collected and widely disseminated on availability, affordability, and price variation of a basket of medicines in the public, private and mission sectors. This report highlights the findings of the survey, based on data collected in January 2007. Comparisons are also highlighted between data for January 2007 and previous months (April, July and October 2006) for some key findings of the survey.
