    "content": "The other issue to note is that before the change of guard, the Ministry of Health would supply drugs to hospitals, for example, they would give drugs to Coast General Hospital, Tudor District Hospital and Mvita Clinic. I have used the hospitals in my constituency as examples. Whether you needed them or not, those drugs would be sent to you. Dr. Nyikal is here, I am sure when he contributes he will confirm that. That time, district hospitals would do barter trade amongst themselves. There was no written law. If there was cholera outbreak in Kilifi, the hospital management would approach hospitals in Mombasa, where there was no outbreak, to assist them with their cholera medication in exchange for malaria medication. The model that was used by KEMSA through the Ministry of Health was known as push system. They would simply push the drugs and the hospitals would end up sorting themselves out. Now, they have a system known as pull, where counties’ demands are based on the amount of ailments that need drugs."
