Kenya Seeks Church Support in Ebola Awareness Campaign

The Ministry of Health is collaborating with religious institutions to raise awareness about Ebola Virus Disease.

Principal Secretary for Public Health and Professional Standards Mary Muthoni has called upon church leaders to use their platforms to promote public health awareness and share verified information.

This comes after the Health Ministry confirmed three Ebola cases, with the second and third cases identified while patients were in quarantine and under daily monitoring.

The Government is conducting contact tracing, monitoring contacts, and strengthening infection prevention and control at health facilities, with no restrictions on travel, trade, or public gatherings.
