BREAKING: Suspected Ebola Patient Isolated in an Ambulance at Kenyatta National Hospital?

August 9, 2014

A suspected Ebola patient was on Friday night isolated at an ambulance at Kenya’s biggest referral facility, the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), IN Nairobi.

However, reports from the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) where the blood was taken for sampling indicate that no result has come out.

Kenya’s unpreparedness against ebola, that is currently ravaging West Africa, has been put into question with Doctors saying that the country lacks the wherewithal to deal with the deadly infection.

There are only two major referral facilities in Kenya, the Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi and the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, but they all lack isolation wings.

There are calls for the Kenya Airways to cancel flights to West Africa like other major airlines in the continent, but authorities say adequate measures have been taken to avert it.

Details coming up………
