| dc.description.abstract | This study examines the sources of finance for Eldoret based Chemist Outlets. The
study is intended to highlight problems faced by the Chemist outlets in securing finance .
This study has been necessitated by the perpetual shortage of drugs in Eldoret
based pharmaceutical outlets and the existence of peculiar diseases such as Rift valley fever
and highland malaria in Eldoret town and the surrounding areas which has been aggravated
by population increase in the last ten years. Drug supply has thus become a critical factor in
this region and most if not the entire population in the region, depend on drugs from
chemist outlets located in Eldoret town.

outlets by coming up with findings which will be used by individual companies, government
bodies, and other organizations that can be of help in the pharmaceutical Industry as a
whole. This will have the indirect effect of improving health standards which in turn leads
to higher productivity in the region and improved standards ofliving. | en |
