Kenya has intensified nationwide disease surveillance and emergency preparedness measures following renewed fears of Ebola virus importation.
This is after the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
The move comes amid rising regional concern after suspected Ebola cases in DRC and Uganda reportedly increased to about 600, with 139 suspected deaths, prompting heightened alert across East Africa due to strong cross-border movement, trade routes and air travel connections.
