Ebola reaches Kenya. What's the response?

Kenya has allocated $538 million to its Ebola response after confirming the country’s first case, linked to the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The money will support efforts to prevent further spread as health authorities step up surveillance and contact tracing. We look at whether Kenya and its neighbours are prepared as transmission continues in eastern DRC. In Liberia, hundreds of chimpanzees used in decades of medical experiments were left behind after the research ended. We look at what happens to lab animals when scientists no longer need them. Presenter: Blessing Aderogba Producers: Victor Chege and Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: David Nzau Senior Producer: Charles Gitonga Editors: Daniel Dadzie and Maryam Abdalla
