Kenya's Public Health Officers Strike Raises Risk of El Niño Disease Outbreaks

Kenya's public health officers have been on strike for 49 days amid preparations for El Niño rains, which heightens the risk of disease outbreaks. Their absence threatens the country's ability to prevent and respond to cholera, dysentery, malaria, and severe diarrhoeal diseases through rapid response and contact tracing. This situation raises significant public health concerns as the rainy season approaches.
