Kenya has received 4.5 tonnes of medical supplies from India to strengthen its preparedness against Ebola as the country remains on high alert over the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The consignment was received by Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where he said the donation would reinforce Kenya's capacity to prevent, detect and respond to any potential Ebola cases.

"This support comes at a critical time as we continue to strengthen our preparedness and response systems against Ebola and other public health emergencies," Duale said.
