AGP Executive Report

Last update: 18 minutes ago

Ebola Alert Escalates: Africa CDC has put Kenya on a list of 10 countries at high risk as the DRC outbreak worsens, with Congo reporting 204 deaths from 867 suspected cases and Uganda confirming three new infections; WHO has raised the risk to “very high,” while health agencies push for stronger surveillance, early detection, and safer border response. Frontline Cost: The Red Cross mourned three volunteers in eastern DRC who died after likely contracting Ebola while handling dead bodies, underscoring how quickly the crisis is spreading beyond patients. Kenya Response Moves: Kenya is tightening screening and preparedness, including risk-based checks rather than blanket quarantines, as regional travel and insecurity raise the odds of further spread. Local Health & Safety: In parallel, Kenya’s femicide and GBV fight continues with police saying investigations are being intensified and specialised teams set up. Coast Development: President Ruto announced a Ksh315M Tsavo fence plan to curb human-wildlife conflict, alongside major blue-economy investments.
