They say your health is your wealth – and true to the saying, all the money in the world is useless if you can not sustain your wealth. In today’s life, medicine plays a big part in our day-to-day living. Thanks to advancements in medicine, there’s a drug for almost every health symptom you might experience.
Unfortunately, variety often kicks in bad business practices, meaning there are many counterfeit medicines on sale today, especially in big cities like Nairobi.
Fortunately for you, I spent considerable time researching the most reliable pharmacies in Nairobi. The following are quality-assured pharmacies in Nairobi (approved by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board in Kenya).
