Kenya Boosts Health Surveillance After DRC Traveller Death

The Kenyan health cabinet secretary reported that, after the death of a traveler from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the nation has intensified monitoring at all 15 entry points. More than 652,000 passengers have been screened to date, and rapid response units are on standby across counties. The National Incident Management System, operational since May 2026, continues to coordinate high‑alert emergency measures. With the addition of India’s 6,000 PPE kits and WHO’s contributions, Kenya’s response framework now benefits from expanded protective gear and reinforced protocols.
