NGO, mothers2mothers aims to end HIV and reduce preventable deaths by a third by 2026

A Kenyan court has ordered the temporary suspension of a plan for the United States to set up an Ebola quarantine facility in the country after a lawsuit argued that the site could endanger public health.

This follows reports that Nairobi had given written approval for the United States to establish an Ebola quarantine facility for Americans exposed to the outbreak centred in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), drawing sharp criticism from health practitioners’ organisations.

These include the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU), which says the move risks the country’s biosecurity and the safety of its citizens in exchange for foreign aid.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Channel Africa’s Correspondent in Kenya, Alex Kairie.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General, Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, is in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to demonstrate support for the country as it responds to the ongoing deadly Ebola outbreak. The visit comes as the WHO, in partnership with the DRC’s national medical research organisation, scales up Ebola diagnostic capacity nationwide to help contain the outbreak more effectively.

Dr Tedros says the initiative aims to strengthen laboratory networks to provide real-time data, quickly identify confirmed cases, and ultimately save lives.
