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.

James Koryor - 24 November 2021

According to GASD-Liberia Executive Director, James Koryor, much has not been done to provide public education on the key provision on the amended portion of the law, lack of inclusive participation of key sectors and stakeholders has also raised more questions and answers in many quarters.

 

According to the anti-drug campaigners, globally and regionally governments...
