U.S. Embassy Nairobi

With support from the United States, Kenyan healthcare workers participated in Ebola Infection Prevention and Control training this week to strengthen their ability to safely identify, manage, and respond to potential Ebola cases. Every trained healthcare worker strengthens Kenya's ability to prevent and respond to Ebola. Over 160 Rapid Response Team members across multiple counties have already received hands-on training, and 120 national-level responders, including Kenya defense forces personnel are completing a Train-the-Trainers program in Nairobi this week.

Through this partnership with the Government of Kenya, the United States is strengthening Kenya’s efforts to enhance preparedness, protect frontline health workers, and help keep communities safe from this emerging threat. From distributing PPE and thermal scanners at key border crossings to assessing isolation facilities across 22 high-risk counties, the U.S. remains committed not just in moments of concern, but every single day.
