Ebola Virus Disease represents a persistent public health threat to both human and primate populations, with transmission driven by direct exposure to infectious bodily fluids and contaminated environmental surfaces. Recognizing the heightened risk posed by regional population mobility, Kenya remains on high alert. Our preparedness framework is anchored in early warning and rapid response—encompassing sentinel surveillance, infection prevention and control, advanced laboratory diagnostics, meticulous contact tracing, and culturally-adapted risk communication—to ensure a resilient, agile, and community-centered defense against potential outbreaks.
