MYDAWA, an online retail pharmacy has partnered with Kenya Pharmaceutical Association (KPA), in a move that will enable Kenyans have access to quality health services.

The partnership’s agenda also includes training programmes for healthcare professionals, joint public engagement through awareness campaigns and education advocacy programs on the safety of medicine.

MYDAWA Managing Director Tony Wood said the training and advocacy programmes will be done through the dissemination of information material, regular joint surveys and research studies on behavioral patterns.

He said the organisation through its innovative e-health solution, will provide members of the public with a platform that will enable them have access to genuine and quality medicine at affordable prices which will also be easily available.

“As an innovative solution, we are constantly seeking ways we can implement our vision of ensuring better health outcomes for all. Indeed this partnership continues to reaffirm this promise,” said Mr. Wood.
