Nyaundi issued the orders after certifying as urgent a petition filed by Katiba Institute challenging the planned facilities and the possible transfer or admission of Ebola-exposed persons into Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services(CMS) Administrator Mehmet Oz says he is confident that ongoing diplomatic discussions between the US and Kenya will help secure critical medical support capabilities near the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking during Tuesday\u2019s White House briefing, Oz said the U.S. State Department is working diligently with regional partners to ensure that Americans and others requiring urgent medical care can access treatment facilities close to where they become ill or injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019re going to work out with the Secretary Rubio\u2019s leadership, a very favourable Arrangement with Kenya,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been to Kenya. It\u2019s beautiful country, very sophisticated people. They\u2019re going to do the right thing for everybody,\u201d Dr Oz stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oz emphasized the importance of maintaining rapid access to medical care for U.S. personnel and others operating near the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where an outbreak of Ebola Bundibugyo strain outbreak has resulted in 321 confirmed cases and 116 suspected cases, with 48 confirmed deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Cabinet Secretary is scheduled to appear tomorrow, Wednesday, 3rd June 2026, at 2:30 P.M. to respond to concerns regarding the Government\u2019s preparedness in addressing the threat posed by the Ebola Virus Disease, as well as issues surrounding the proposed Isolation Centre in Nanyuki, Laikipia County,&#8221; read a communication from Speaker Moses Wetang&#8217;ula.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12343,"featured_media":802827,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1789,58687,1,3787,23985,26,7515],"tags":[1981,491,59020],"coauthors":[270,407],"class_list":["post-802826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-capital-health","category-ebola-alert","category-kenya","category-kenya-us-relations","category-parliament","category-top-stories","category-top-story","tag-featured","tag-kenya","tag-us-ebola-patients-quarantine-facility-in-kenya"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
