The high cost of keeping the deadly Ebola virus out of Kenya’s borders became clear Tuesday after the Ministry of Health submitted a multi-million shilling budget to the Treasury meant to prepare for the disease.
Ian Njeru, who heads the ministry’s disease surveillance and response unit, said the department has requested for Sh533 million to be used in setting up adequate response structures.
