Public Health 101:
We treat and quarantine at source.
The proposed facility should be built and maintained at source, in the DRC, where the outbreak risk exists and where response capacity is most urgently needed.
Outbreaks are managed at source using tried and tested public health measures: surveillance, isolation, contact tracing, diagnostics, PPE, trained personnel, community engagement, safe transport systems, and accountable emergency coordination.
Preparedness is not the importation of confirmed, infected, or exposed patients into a population that has not consented to carry that risk.
Preparedness is building capacity where the threat exists, protecting affected communities, and ensuring that neighbouring countries are not turned into holding grounds for geopolitical convenience.
America is trying to rewrite international infectious disease preparedness by pretending that importing exposed patients into Kenya is the same as strengthening preparedness.

@Kophen_ I’ve played this album a few times now and it’s solid 💪🏾
A few skips, but a long of it bangs 💯
(Thought I’d get back to this post once the release convo died 😄)
Africa Forward Summit was so chaotic that President Kagame was stranded outside at some point. Total’s Global CEO was also blocked, and was seen yelling at security.
Some presidents & dignitaries left without speaking as things spiraled. Kenya (or France?) dropped the ball bigly
@KenyaPower_Care I have been informed of this. But it was not indicated in your notice.
“Please note that the power outage experienced currently is related to Kplc routine maintenance which has made them switch off the Kileleshwa sub station.”
@kiruti@Mzee__Mzima VM is definitely the best, IMO. Doesn’t just feel like a collection of shops. You can actually spend quite an enjoyable few hours there.
