AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoEbola Watch: Kenya has discharged its last Ebola patient and begun a 42-day countdown to a possible disease-free declaration on December 23. All nine cases were linked to one cluster, with no community spread reported. In neighbouring DR Congo, cases have climbed to 11,042, with 5,387 deaths, as conflict hampers the response. Dialysis Costs: The Social Health Authority has raised its payment per dialysis session to Sh10,650, from Sh9,500 under NHIF. The increase may ease pressure on patients, though access remains difficult in areas with few dialysis centres. Patient Rights: MPs have passed a Bill to bar hospitals from detaining patients or holding bodies over unpaid bills, and to protect access to emergency care regardless of ability to pay. Pneumonia Prevention: Kenya’s medical services principal secretary has urged sustained vaccine funding and timely treatment to prevent child deaths from pneumonia.
