The Act made various amendments to health-related statutes on matters relating to health policy including the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, Cap. 244; the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Act, Cap. 253; the Nurses Act, Cap. 257; the Kenya Medical Training College Act, Cap. 261; and the Nutritionists and Dieticians Act, No. 18 of 2007, among others.

Hon. Members, the Court of Appeal further declared the amendments made to sections 3 and 4 of the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority Act contained in the Health Laws (Amendment) Act to have been unconstitutional. Only those two sections! To this end, Hon. Members, in light of the Court of Appeal Judgment, a pertinent question that arises is how the House should proceed to re-enact the laws that have been nullified.
