The Kenya Medical Supplies Authority has announced the temporary closure of its Nairobi Central and Regional warehouses.
The closure will be effective from Friday, July 1 to July 8.
The institution said the closure will be effected to allow them to take account of their stock.
Kemsa said services that will be suspended include the issuance of receipts as well as the dispatches of medical supplies with the exception of emergency situations.
"Normal Sales and Warehouse operations will resume on Monday, July 11, 2022."
"We wish to notify our esteemed Customers and the general public that we shall close our Nairobi Central and Regional warehouses for the annual stock-take effective Friday 1st to Friday 8th July 2022, both days inclusive," the statement read.
"During this period, all receipts and dispatches of medical supplies will be suspended. Only emergency cases shall be attended to. Normal Sales and Warehouse operations will resume on Monday 11th July 2022."
KEMSA always takes an annual stock-audit break to allow the authority to take account of its inventory items.
The authority is tasked with procuring, warehousing, and distributing drugs and medical supplies for prescribed public health programs, the national strategic stock reserve, prescribed essential health packages and national referral hospitals.
