The National Medical Stores (NMS) has called upon all government health facilities to submit their medicine requests within the set deadlines according to the Store’s delivery schedule to enhance the availability of medicines in the country.
“Currently, we serve over 3,000 health facilities across the country and while a great number of them submit their requests on time, we still face challenges in some places where requests are submitted outside the set submission deadlines and this, therefore, affects the availability of medicines in these particular places,” said NMS Public Relations Officer, Mr James Odong.
