Kenya to include smoking cessation drugs as essential medicines

Shared by Edie - 10 July 2022
Format
News

The Ministry of Health has been advised to add two non-nicotine drugs to Kenya’s Essential Medicines List, to help smokers quit tobacco and nicotine addiction.

The World Health Organization said the two drugs bring “a powerful shift in the fight against the tobacco epidemic.”

The two are bupropion and varenicline, which are more effective than the current cessation drugs, which contain nicotine.

Addiction Practitioners Forum 2022

Substance-Use-Disorder (SUD) professionals often find themselves immersed in their work and as a consequence may not notice the ground-breaking developments which are happening around us. As initial-contact and treatment professionals, it is important that we invest sufficiently in our knowledge and understanding of new developments and the opportunities these may present.

For this purpose, the Addiction Practitioners Forum has been created by the South African National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (SANCA National) to close the gap between practice and theory. SANCA National has...

James Koryor - 24 November 2021

The Global Action for Sustainable Development-GASD has made the latest call for a more inclusive and comprehensive review of Liberia Drug Law to tackle drug trafficking and massive drug abuse among young people in Liberia.
