Ministry of Health on Wednesday confirmed one more mpox case, raising the total count in the country to nine as the government strengthened public health response to the disease.

Deborah Barasa, cabinet secretary in the Ministry of Health, said in a statement released in the Nairobi that the case had been confirmed in Nakuru.

“The new case is a male aged 37, who traveled to Rwanda and Uganda,” Barasa said, noting that “no deaths have been reported among the confirmed cases.”

She added that the ministry’s surveillance efforts remain robust and had tracked 68 contacts, among whom 61 had been monitored for the recommended 21 days.

Barasa revealed that the ministry had cumulatively screened nearly 1.13 million travelers at 26 points of entry.

She called for vigilance, noting it is key to protecting communities from the spread of the disease.

According to Barasa, the ministry has intensified surveillance, risk communication and community engagement to combat stigma and curb infections.

Barasa noted on Tuesday that the ministry is working to secure mpox vaccines for high-risk populations.

The vaccines are expected to arrive in the country in December, as Kenya is one of the five African nations set to receive 50,000 doses of mpox vaccine as part of the World Health Organization-led global efforts to prevent the spread of the disease.
