US Ebola center in Kenya runs into legal hurdles
The US and Kenya's agreement to establish an Ebola biocontainment center in Kenya faces legal challenges after a Nairobi court temporarily barred admitting Ebola-infected individuals. Opposition from advocacy groups, health workers, and legal bodies has delayed the facility's operation, with critics accusing the government of bypassing constitutional procedures. The US has pledged $13.5 million to Kenya's Ebola preparedness amid a regional outbreak in DR Congo and Uganda.
