The Kenya Medical Supplies Authority has dismissed claims that two ventilators donated to the Migori county government by the World Bank have mysteriously disappeared. There were claims the county was unable to trace the ventilators donated four months ago. “Kemsa received the distribution list of the ventilators from Afya House on November 19 and released the two ventilators to Migori county as per the distribution list,” the agency said. “Early this year, Migori County also received two Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines as part of government donations. A shortage of breathing machines could mean the difference between life and death for Covid-19 patients in the most critical condition.
