What makes the current #Ebola outbreak different?
It is caused by the Bundibugyo strain, a rare variant for which there is currently no approved vaccine or treatment.
So, what does this mean for Africa's preparedness and response?

The Ministry of Health today convened a high-level preparedness meeting bringing together Directors and Heads of Divisions to review Kenya's readiness to respond to Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) and other emerging public health threats.
While Kenya has not recorded any confirmed case of Ebola, the Ministry is strengthening surveillance, screening, laboratory capacity, emergency response systems, and coordination mechanisms to ensure early detection and rapid response in the event of any suspected case.
The meeting reviewed the current Ebola situation and other disease threats, assessed national and county preparedness levels, healthcare worker readiness, infection prevention and control measures, community engagement strategies, and the availability of critical resources including personal protective equipment, isolation facilities, medicines, vaccines, and emergency supplies.
The meeting also discussed directorate action plans, accountability frameworks, and inter-ministerial coordination to ensure a whole-of-government approach to public health emergency preparedness.
The Ministry remains vigilant and committed to protecting the health of all Kenyans through proactive preparedness, strengthened surveillance, and timely response to potential disease outbreaks.

Principal Secretary for Public Health and Professional Standards Mary Muthoni has urged architects, engineers, planners, and quantity surveyors to prioritise public health in infrastructure development by integrating proper ventilation, natural lighting, accessibility, climate resilience, and safe public spaces into the built environment.
Speaking during the Board of Registration of Architects and Quantity Surveyors (BORAQS) engagement on “Health, Dignity and Inclusion in the Built Environment,” the PS underscored the close relationship between health and infrastructure, noting that the design of buildings, roads, hospitals, schools, and public spaces has a direct impact on the health, safety, and wellbeing of communities.
She noted that unhealthy environments continue to contribute to disease outbreaks, poor sanitation, injuries, respiratory illnesses, and weakened learning and healthcare outcomes, stressing that investments in healthier infrastructure are equally investments in preventive healthcare, resilience, and national productivity.
PS Muthoni further observed that safer and healthier built environments help reduce future healthcare costs, strengthen community resilience, and improve the quality of life for all Kenyans.
Strong primary health care systems don’t build themselves. They require smart financing, strong policy design, and sustained investment.
