Ebola preparedness must be proactive, not reactive. We call for strengthened border surveillance, adherence to International Health Regulations, adequate PPE for frontline workers, and the fast-tracking of employment for UHC officers to enhance Kenya's public health response capacity.

A nation’s first line of defense against any outbreak is the health and safety of its people. Strong public health systems save lives, protect communities, and strengthen national resilience.

Public health security begins with protecting people. Effective disease prevention requires proactive investment in citizens’ safety, strong surveillance systems, and timely public health interventions. Prevention is always better than response.

Containing disease outbreaks is not just about treatment—it’s about preparedness, protection, and putting public health at the center of national priorities. A safe population is a stronger nation.

Yesterday KEHPHPU in collaboration with APHOk addressed the nation on two critical public health concerns: the tragic Utumishi Girls Academy dormitory fire and the proposed U.S. Ebola quarantine facility in Kenya.

The painful loss of young lives at Utumishi Girls Academy is a heartbreaking reminder that school safety, emergency preparedness, environmental sanitation, and public health compliance can never be ignored. KEHPHPU is calling for the immediate deployment of Public Health Officers in all schools to strengthen inspections, disaster preparedness, disease prevention, and enforcement of safety standards to protect every learner across the country.

On the proposed Ebola quarantine facility, KEHPHPU maintains that Kenya must prioritize the safety, health, and wellbeing of its citizens through transparency, public participation, strong disease surveillance systems, and investment in local public health infrastructure before any such project is considered.

Public Health remains the first line of defense in safeguarding communities, schools, and the nation at large.

Vivaa,
