Mombasa County Government, with support from Doctors Without Borders, has established an Ebola training centre at Port Reitz Sub-County Hospital as part of efforts to strengthen Ebola preparedness.
County health authorities said that in case of an outbreak, the training centre could be repurposed as an isolation facility.
The comprehensive training programme uses realistic simulation exercises to sensitise healthcare workers for outbreak response.
Participants will receive training on various elements of an Ebola response, including clinical case management, biosafety and infection prevention and control, and correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
