Kemri raises DNA test services by 35pc on rising operational costs
A DNA testing kit. Kemri says the cost of DNA testing has risen due to an increase in operational costs and potential advances in deoxyribonucleic acid testing technology.
The State-owned Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) has raised the charges for DNA testing by 35 percent, dealing a blow to customers who had been using the relatively cheaper services of the firm.
Kemri announced on Wednesday that the cost of DNA testing would rise from Sh20,000 to Sh27,000 from January 2025, citing an increase in operational costs and potential advances in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing technology.
