Confronting the threat of COVID-19 in Kenya
Public health advisory from the Kenyan Ministry of Health.
The coronavirus pandemic presents AMPATH and our partners with daunting challenges. Together, the Kenyan government, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital and AMPATH partners are responding to COVID-19.
We've worked with the Kenyan Ministry of Health and MTRH task force to set up isolation units, establish laboratory services, train hundreds of professionals and procure personal protective equipment for health care workers. Vaccinations of healthcare workers began in March 2021. But more work is needed to overcome this pandemic.
