KEMRI unveils expanded Polio vaccines lab

Kenya is taking a major leap in the fight against viral diseases with the launch of an expanded Polio laboratory at the Kenya Medical Research Institute. This state-of-the-art facility will cut the time for virus detection from over 46 days to just about a week, a game-changer in speeding up outbreak response. As Emily Chebet reports, scientists hail this milestone as a major step towards kenya’s growing self-reliance in diagnostics, genomic sequencing, and disease surveillance.
