Despite government assurances that Kenya is prepared to handle an Ebola outbreak, health experts warn that the country’s isolation and treatment systems remain largely inadequate.

A foreign national admitted to a Nairobi hospital with Ebola-like symptoms sparked concern, but tests later ruled out the virus, according to police and health officials.

The 50-bed facility, intended to serve Americans exposed to Ebola, is set to be established at Laikipia Airbase.
