Kenya's global standing has been elevated with the prestigious Best Quality Leadership Award 2024 from the European Society for Quality Research (ESQR), a recognition bestowed upon the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA).
This significant milestone was a testament to the visionary leadership of Dr. Andrew Mulwa, the CEO of KEMSA. He was recently honored with the African Governance Award, 2024, for his instrumental role in establishing KEMSA as the continent's Most Outstanding Medical Supplies Authority.
The award ceremony was held in Mauritius.
This week, ESQR has recognized KEMSA's leadership, including the CEO and Board of Directors, for their innovative and proactive approaches to fostering the development of quality systems within KEMSA. This has led to KEMSA's transformation into a dynamic supplier of supply chain solutions for health products and technologies, significantly enhancing health outcomes and saving lives.
