(a) The Kenyatta National Hospital dispenses both branded and generic drugs, subject to prior efficacy testing and registration by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. (b) The medical and scientific facts that justify the procurement of generic drugs in the hospital are the quality, the efficacy and the safety of those drugs, subject to the testing and registration processes of the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. (c) The measures that the hospital has put in place to ensure the drugs meet international standards include the following:- (i) Testing and registration by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. (ii) Ensuring that there is no previous adverse report on the drug. (iii) Conforming to standards labelling and packaging. (iv) Conforming to the Kenyatta National Hospital formulary, which is reviewed from time to time. (d) The use of branded drugs has not been discontinued at the Kenyatta National Hospital. The hospital has more than 600 items on its formulary and more than 40 per cent of these are branded drugs."
