KENYANS OPPOSE PLANNED US EBOLA FACILITY
At least 9 of 13 U.S. treatment centers say they can receive Ebola patients as officials weigh repatriation against quarantine in Kenya.
- On Wednesday, HHS confirmed that most of the 13 United States treatment centers are prepared to treat Ebola patients, even as plans to quarantine asymptomatic Americans in Kenya face growing criticism.
- Since the 2014 West Africa outbreak, the United States has invested around $260 million to establish the network of 13 treatment centers, which must maintain lab testing and specialized training.
- Former Disease Control officials argued earlier this week that the proposed Kenya quarantine site poses health risks compared to medical repatriation to prepared United States facilities.
- Protests at the Kenya site have led to at least two deaths, and a local court has ordered a block to construction, while former officials warn the strategy may deter Americans from volunteering in the DRC.
- The current Ebola outbreak in the DRC has resulted in 344 confirmed cases and 60 deaths, and agencies continue intensifying containment efforts while the debate over safe treatment protocols for exposed personnel remains critical.
