Health CS Aden Duale has defended Kenya’s decision to okay the US to construct an Ebola laboratory to treat its citizens who contract the virus at the Laikipia airbase.
“In partnership with the United States Government, Kenya is also establishing a similar facility at a military installation in Laikipia to strengthen monitoring, isolation, and emergency response capacity,” he said in a statement.
According to the CS, the lab will enhance Kenya’s surveillance, diagnostic capacity, emergency preparedness exercises, critical medical supplies, and rapid response capabilities.
