KEMSA Upgrades Hospital Facility Serving Over 300,000 Mombasa Residents

The Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) handed over a refurbished medicine store at Port Reitz Sub-County Hospital in Mombasa this week, with more than 300,000 residents of Changamwe and Jomvu expected to benefit. The work followed an April 2025 assessment that found insufficient storage capacity and deteriorating infrastructure, and aims to improve medicine storage and inventory management. Upgrades include air conditioning, a ceiling, secure windows, repaired walls and racks, and new office and washroom spaces. KEMSA CEO Dr. Waqo Ejersa and Governor Abdulswamad Nassir stressed the importance of proper storage conditions and cooperation between the agency and the county.
