Behind every number is a family, a mother caring for a sick child at home, or a health worker who didnโ€™t come back from a shift. 10,172 confirmed cases. 4,932 lives lost. โ€œWe are not winning so far.โ€ โ€” said H.E. Dr Jean Kaseya at yesterdayโ€™s Extraordinary Ministerial Meeting on Ebola. The room responded. Ministers agreed to get every country ready, to work hand in hand across borders and to keep those borders open while watching them closely. Partners stepped up behind Africaโ€™s plan. Because Ebola anywhere in Africa demands preparedness everywhere in Africa. โ–ถ๏ธ Watch the full meeting: ow.ly/mgcu5101Uhp #Ebola #AfricaReady #AfricaResponds

Messrs. @WilliamsRuto, @MusaliaMudavadi and @SingoeiAKorir are badly mismanaging Kenyaโ€™s foreign affairs. How can an African country publicly support UAEโ€™s candidate for Secretary General of the @UN when there are 2 Africans vying for the same position, yet expect other African countries to vote for Kenyan candidates for other global positions? The UAE has become Zionist Israelโ€™s errand boy in the Middle East. It had committed atrocities in Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Iran and Somalia. Support for the UAE is a vote for Zionism. Why is Kenya not supporting Ugandaโ€™s @Olara_Otunnu? One cannot shout โ€œPan-Africanโ€ and demand respect from non-African countries, then coil up and behave like indentured slaves. Why couldnโ€™t Kenya even support the Barbadosโ€™ candidate? How much has the UAE paid our mandarins? Telling the truth is a revolutionary act. #SocialismIsTheSolution #RevolutionNow

Today, @Amref_Kenya held a high-level meeting with Cabinet Secretary for Health, @HonAdenDuale, EGH, to review progress under its strategic partnership with the @MOH_Kenya, which has reached over 3.6 million people across all 47 counties between January and September 2026. The CS commended #Amref for its contribution to national health priorities and its transparency and accountability in aligning investments with government priorities. Discussions highlighted progress in expanding access to primary healthcare (PHC), improving maternal and newborn health, strengthening disease prevention, and enhancing outbreak preparedness and response. The engagement reaffirmed a shared commitment to government-led, accountable partnerships that strengthen health systems, improve lives and deliver sustainable health outcomes for all Kenyans. #Amref4PHC #HealthEquity #HealthForAll

The #Ebola cases in Kenya and Nigeria highlight the need for a coordinated, continent-wide response. African governments, @AfricaCDC and regional bodies should strengthen cross-border surveillance, accelerate testing, secure sustainable financing and build community trust to contain the outbreak at its source. Africa cannot afford fragmented responses to cross-border health threats. Collective action, adequate resources and rapid response are critical to protecting lives and strengthening health security.

#Ebola virus is deadly. Early detection is essential to stop community transmission and infections. Consistent community sensitisation ensures everyone knows the signs, symptoms, and prevention methods. Strong communities are our first line of defense.
#Ebola continues to spread in the DRC and Kenya, raising concerns across Africa. Prompt action is key to preventing escalation. As @daktari1 notes, every index case starts at the community level. The most effective protection is investing in communities by strengthening local surveillance, ensuring early case detection, communicating risks clearly, and responding rapidly to contain the spread. Strong communities remain our first line of defence. #HealthSecurity #AmrefEbolaResponse @WHO @AfricaCDC @MOH_Kenya @KEMRI_Wellcome

#Ebola is a deadly but preventable disease. It does not discriminate or respect borders. Strong community awareness and vigilance are our best defense. By strengthening surveillance and enhancing entry-point screenings, we can quickly detect and contain any potential outbreak, protecting everyone. Protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community by staying alert and informed. Prevention starts with action; share accurate information and encourage others to follow safety guidelines. #EbolaAlertKe @WHOKenya @WHOAFRO @AfricaCDC @ProfJanabi @DrTedros
