MSF sets up Ebola training facility in Kenya as regional outbreak preparedness intensifies

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighbouring Uganda has prompted humanitarian organisations to strengthen preparedness efforts aimed at ensuring a rapid response in the event of a confirmed case in Kenya. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has established a specialised Ebola simulation and training facility in Kenya to equip frontline responders with the skills needed to manage potential outbreaks. The centre is the second of its kind globally, after a similar facility in Brussels, Belgium.
