Understanding the Challenge; Improving accessibility through Decentralized Drug Distribution Considerations
Accessing medicines through community pharmacies in Kenya is often a difficult experience due to the lack of a transparent system for tracking medication availability and pricing. This is particularly concerning, as research shows that in developing countries, community pharmacies are often the first point of contact for patients and the main source of medicines. The absence of transparency in these pharmacies limits their ability to provide timely and affordable healthcare. Significant price variations between different pharmacies mean that patients often end up overpaying for essential medications.
This issue reflects a broader challenge within Kenya’s health commodity supply chain, where community pharmacies tend to operate in isolation from the larger healthcare system. This isolation is largely caused by a lack of visibility in the supply chain, particularly between pharmacies and their clients.
The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in early 2020, further exposed weaknesses in the medication distribution system, especially for immunocompromised patients. To minimize the risk of exposing vulnerable clients to infection, community pharmacies increasingly took on the role of distributing antiretroviral (ARV) medicines. Although this shift helped protect high-risk patients, it also emphasized the urgent need to improve accessibility, affordability, and transparency within community pharmacies.
