Key Highlights

An internal government assessment reveals that Kenya is well-equipped for detecting Ebola through surveillance and testing, but faces significant weaknesses in patient treatment and sustaining outbreak operations, despite a regional resurgence of the virus.

  • Kenya's overall preparedness score is 66%, with case management scoring a low 36%.
  • The assessment was conducted by the Bundibugyo Virus Disease Incident Management System under the Ministry of Health's Kenya National Public Health Institute (KNPHI).
  • Despite readiness in areas like contact tracing (100%) and laboratory capacity (87%), gaps exist in isolation facilities and the rapid accessibility of emergency funds, with unstable internet at key border crossings hindering screening operations.
