Kenya Halts Ebola Center Amid Legal Pushback
Description
Kenya’s health minister reversed course on an Ebola quarantine center for Americans after being found in contempt of court—construction halted despite earlier judicial orders. The facility, meant to handle U.S. citizens exposed to Ebola, sparked deadly protests and raised local safety concerns. Minister Duale apologized, saying he never intended to defy the court, and defended the project as scientifically sound. The U.S. remains committed, pledging $13.5 million to Kenya’s Ebola preparedness efforts. This clash underscores the delicate balance between global health cooperation and local capacity and safety fears.
