Kenya has received five tonnes of medical supplies from India as the government raises Ebola preparedness amid a court dispute over the controversial Laikipia quarantine facility.
Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale received the consignment at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Wednesday, July 22, saying the shipment includes personal protective equipment (PPE) and that laboratories across the country remain on high alert.
"Our labs are on high alert. We have two more mobile labs in western Kenya," said Duale.
He added that Kenyan and United States officials will visit the isolation unit at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) as part of the country's preparedness measures.
