Kenyan medical workers on Saturday warned that the country is ill‑prepared to handle a possible Ebola outbreak, citing staffing shortages, inadequate critical care facilities and unclear emergency response plans.
They also demanded full disclosure of a reported agreement with the United States to establish an Ebola quarantine facility in Laikipia County.
The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) said the country's healthcare system remains overstretched and questioned the government's preparedness even as reports emerge of a planned Ebola quarantine facility in Laikipia for American citizens working in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
